Holy Quiz Again! - Prayers

[Shin]

For this quiz, it will be guessing which saint the prayer is from. . .

Act of Spiritual Communion

Jesus Christ my Savior,
I believe that Thou
art present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love Thee above all things
and I desire Thee in my soul.
Since I cannot now
receive Thee sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
As though thou wert already there,
I embrace Thee and unite myself wholly to Thee;
permit not that I should ever be separated from Thee.

Amen.

And now for the quiz. This prayer is from... who?

A. St. Ignatius of Loyola
B. Pope St. Gregory the Great
C. St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori.
D. St. Theresa of Avila.
E. St. Catherine of Genoa

Answer in invisible ink below!

C. St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

[martin]

 Think I might know this one. 

I'll restrain myself from peeking. 

[Shin]

I did not make this one easy! I shall have to be more careful next time!

 

[martin]

Well, this happens to be one of my favorite saints. 
Just reading a line from this saints works can get me motivated in th right direction. 

[Shin]

Ah that's good news! 

Haha! I think you probably have the correct answer!

[Patricia]

St. Alphonsus...and that's a pure guess. Because I love this saint. 

[martin]

That's my guess too Patricia. 

[Shin]

You two have got it! St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori it is!

I thought it was too hard!!!

[Shin]

The splendid thing about this quiz is to pray each prayer as well as guess the saint!

An Offering of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary

O Jesus, only Son of God, only Son of Mary,
I offer Thee the most loving Heart of Thy divine Mother
which is more precious and pleasing to Thee than all hearts.
O Mary, Mother of Jesus,
I offer Thee the most adorable Heart of Thy well-beloved Son,
who is the life and love and joy of Thy Heart.
Blessed be the Most Loving Heart
and Sweet Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the most glorious
Virgin Mary, His Mother,
in eternity and forever.

Amen.

And now for the quiz. This prayer is from... who?

A. St. Therese of the Child Jesus
B. St. Thomas Aquinas
C. Pope St. Pius X
D. St. Gertrude the Great
E. St. Jean Eudes

[Patricia]

St Gertrude the Great? 

[Shin]

Nope!

So that narrows it down a little more! 

[martin]

It sounds like a prayer any one of those great saints would have prayed.
I'm wavering mostly between St. Pius X and St. Jean Eudes.

Brigid? Where are you? 

[James - a humble servant]

Ah ha ! Thy answer be E. St. Jean Eudes !

Excellent prayer too. I'm going to start praying this daily. 

[Patricia]

Since James OP sounds more confident than Martin, I will go with St. Jean Eudes too! 

[Shin]

You are all correct! It is in fact a prayer of St. Jean Eudes! ! !

Congratulations! 

[Shin]

A real treasure, no James?
