April 1st - St. Hugh is our Saint of the Day By: Venassa Jijo

Saint Hugh (pronounced like hyoo) is today’s commemorated saint. St.Hugh was born at Dauphin in France. He served as a bishop for 2 years, eventually wanted to retire and tried to flee. The Pope called him back because of his well known, inspiring, and generous preaching. Saint Hugh came back and served as bishop for the rest of his life. After many years of illness, he passed away and was canonized two years afterwards, in the year 1134.

Saint Hugh can be a patron for us all whenever we feel overwhelmed by the problems in our world such as the current corona epidemic, other illnesses, or just the everyday issues we may be dealing with.

​Think about about those intentions and we shall pray:

INTERCESSORY PRAYER 

God, help us through the intercession of St. Hugh to keep the Faith he taught by his word and follow the way he showed by his example. Pray for us that we will persevere and thrive despite the difficulties placed before us. Amen !
