February: Month of the Holy Family
Virtue: Humility
Whoever humbleth himself, shall be exalted.-Luke, xiv: 11
1. Humility is the foundation of all the virtues; therefore, in a soul where it does not exist, there can be no true virtue, but the mere appearance only. In like manner, it is the most proper disposition for all celestial gifts. And, finally, it is so necessary to perfection, that of all the ways to reach it, the first is humility; the second, humility; the third, humility. And if the question were repeated a hundred times, I should always give the same answer.— St. Augustine.

A prayer to the Holy Family for the fulfillment of our Christian duties.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace to love our Holy Church as we ought above all earthly things, and to show our love for it always and with the evidence of deeds.
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace to profess, as we ought, openly, with courage and without human respect, the faith we received as a gift with holy baptism
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace to co-operate in the defense and propagation of the faith, as we ought, in the manner proper to us, by means of our words, our substance, and even the sacrifice of life itself
Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory be to the Father
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, bless us and grant us the grace to bring our life, as we ought, into perfect conformity with the precepts of the law of God and of the church, that so we may always live by the charity of which they are the expression. Amen.
The New Raccolta 1903 Pope Leo XIII, May 17, 1890
