Saint Alexius,

saint of humble service, patron saint of the homeless, pilgrims, and the Alexian Brothers, we pray to you at the beginning of this new week. Help us to live according to your example every day of the week. Give us strength to overcome difficulties, patience to endure trials, and wisdom to make the right decisions. Lead us on the path of love and mercy, so that we may help those in need and live according to your example. Bless our work and ministry, our families, and all our loved ones. Be with us every moment and guide us in your light.

Amen.
