| Beato Paolina Maria Jaricot, ora pro nobis |
January 9th is the Feast of Blessed Pauline-Marie Jaricot (1799-1862), Victim Soul of Jesus Christ and Dominican Tertiary. Founder of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, she established the Living Rosary, whose adherents, in groups of fifteen people, had to recite ten Rosaries a day while meditating on a specific Mystery drawn by lot and changed every month.
In celebration, we’re posting a prayer to Blessed Pauline-Marie Jaricot courtesy of Catholictradition.org. Evviva Beato Paolina Maria Jaricot!
Prayer to Blessed Pauline-Marie Jaricot
Almighty and merciful God, Who has chosen a humble virgin, Pauline-Marie of Jesus Christ, the poor one of Mary, to found the great Catholic works of the Propagation of the Faith and the Living Rosary, and Who has wished in the midst of humiliations, trials and persecutions to purify her works, deign to hasten the day when Holy Mother the Church will publicly recognize her saintly life. We pray that by her example of patience and love for the Cross, her life-time prayer may be realized: the Universal propagation of the Faith in all its Purity. Amen
