Dear St. Angela Merci, Please pray for me.
i enjoyed the story of st. Angela Merici. she would not let anything stop her. we all must try to live our lives that way.
The stories about the life of the saints are truly inspirational.
The account of the life of St Angela has inspired me even more for it reaffirmed my desire to
help counsel and console young women who are in need of spiritual and moral guidance.I am trying to educate myself to work in this area .
Saint Angela Merici ,please pray for me to remain focus without wavering,and like you respond to the call of God to serve in this area.
Dear St. Angela Merici, thank you for choosing to be a teacher to young girls who would not otherwise have received an education. You were ahead of your times and in that sense you proved to be a courageous lady who brought changes to young women's lifes through the most valuable avenue of education. I commend to our loving God my mother who, like you would not leave a stone unturned to have her daughters properly educated in faith and learning. To this end she toiled ceaslessly to motivate us with a desire to excell and persevere in our studies and achieve professional qualifications. She taught us how to be independent, hardworking and singleminded. Now as she lies on her deathbed, St. Anglea Merici, come to her aid, stay at her side, comfort and console her. Amen.

I didn't decide on my confirmation name yet, so they just put my first name, but I'm glad that I'll still be confirmed in the name of a saint, especially this one. :) (:
