Holy Gospel, prayer of February 20

Today's Gospel
From the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Matthew 6,7-15.
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: «By praying, do not waste words like pagans, who believe they are being listened to by words.
So do not be like them, because your Father knows what things you need even before you ask him.
You therefore pray thus: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name;
Come your kingdom; your will be done, as in heaven so on earth.
Give us today our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors,
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For if you forgive men their sins, your heavenly Father will also forgive you;
but if you do not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive your sins. "

Saint of the day - SANTA GIACINTA MARTO
Our Lady of Fatima,
You who chose Francesco and Jacinta,
two poor and simple shepherd children,
to announce to the world
the desires of your Immaculate Heart,
help us to welcome your conversion message,
because free from sin
we can live a new life.

Blessed Francis and Jacinta,
you who were capable
of intense prayer,
make that the moment
of daily prayer
become the heart for us
of our every day.

You who, albeit children,
you were able to offer great sacrifices
as a gift to the Virgin Mary
for the salvation of sinners,
help us not to waste
the small daily crosses,
but to make them a precious and pleasing offer to God
for the salvation of the world.
Our Lady of Fatima,
through the intercession of the Blessed Pastorelli
Francesco and Jacinta,
watch over all the children of the world,
especially the poorest and most abandoned.
Let them also find,
in your immaculate and maternal Heart,
refuge and protection.
Blessed Francis and Jacinta,
Shepherds of Fatima,
pray for us!

Ejaculatory of the day

My God, I love you.
