Saint Alexius, patron saint of the homeless, pilgrims, and the Alexian Brothers, we turn to you, asking for your intercession during the new week ahead of us. Accompany us on our journey, that each step we take may strengthen our faith and commitment, and that, following your example, we may love and support one another. Grant that we may discover goodness and beauty in each day of the week, and that we may consciously seek truth and love in all our actions. Help us to face challenges with courage and perseverance, and to always remember your teachings. We ask you to bless our family, our friends, and all those we meet. Fill our hearts with peace and joy, so that every moment of the new week may be a blessing for us. We ask you to be with us every day and guide us on the path of the Lord. Amen.
