Triduum in Honor of St. Philip Benizi, Servant of Mary
 
Day 1

St. Philip Benizi: A light place by God on the lampstand of the Order of Servants of Mary

Blessed are you, Lord, God of glory: in your loving plan, you gave the family of Servants the brilliant light of St. Philip Benizi. In his humility, the servant of your handmaid sought to conceal this light but you, who raise up the lowly, wonderfully revealed it. His was a light of knowledge and understanding in the study of sacred doctrine; of wisdom and prudence in the direction of the Order entrusted to his care; of sanctity and grace in service to others.

Through the intercession of St. Philip, grant us, Father, lover for your Word which enlightens us on our journey through life; grant us genuine faith, confident hope and resplendent love.

Amen.

Fr. Vidal Martinez, OSM
