Father and maker of all,
you adorn all creation
with splendor and beauty,
and fashion human lives
in your image and likeness.
Awaken in every heart
reverence for the work of your hands,
and renew among your people
a readiness to nurture and sustain
your precious gift of life.
Grant this through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.
Amen

Who Was St. Charles Borromeo?
Saint Charles Borromeo (2 October 1538 – 3 November 1584) was the Archbishop of Milan, Italy and a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Born into a prominant and wealthy Italian merchant family (his uncle was Pope Paul IV and several family members were Cardinals). It is believed he was born with a speech defect, likely a stammer. He was a leading figure of the Counter – Reformation. He was responsible for significant actions in the Roman Catholic Church; including the founding of seminaries for the education of priests. He donated much of his household wealth to the poor. During a famine in 1570, he found and supplied enough food to feed thousands of people a day for months. In a time of plague, he worked tirelessly to anoint the sick and the dying at great risk to his own health. He died of exhaustion and unknown illness at the age of 46. He is honored as a Saint in the Roman Catholic Church. He is invoked against stomach illness and obesity. His feast day is November 4th.
A Prayer attributed to St. Charles:
Almighty God, you have generously made known to man the mysteries of your life through Jesus Christ your Son in the Holy Spirit. Enlighten my mind to know these mysteries which your Church treasures and teaches.
Move my heart to love them and my will to live in accord with them. Give me the ability to teach this Faith to others without pride, without ostentation, and without personal gain.
Let me realize that I am simply your instrument for bringing others to the knowledge of the wonderful things you have done for all your creatures. Help me to be faithful to this task that you have entrusted to me. Amen.
