January 15th: Saint Paul, the First Hermit
Saint Paul lived ninety years alone in the desert without speaking to anyone. He lived these ninety years without receiving Holy Communion. Let us, who are also deprived on Holy Communion pray to Saint Paul to bring us into union with God, as he was brought through prayer and penance.
Prayer: Saint Paul, who lived without Holy Communion and obtained salvation, go before Our Lord and beg of Him the graces we need to save our souls, who are deprived of receiving His Most Sacred Body and Blood in Holy Communion. Amen.
