Day 1: Saint Christopher the Christ-Bearer

The first day opens with the meaning of the saint's name: Christophoros, Christ-bearer.

The Christ-bearer

Every baptized Catholic is, in a real sense, a Christ-bearer. The infused grace of baptism makes the soul a temple of the Holy Spirit and a dwelling place for Christ.

Prayer

Saint Christopher, you who carried the Christ Child across the river, help me to bear Christ within me through every river of this life. Amen.

Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be.
