Station - St. Pudentiana

Details:
Mar. 17, 1:00 am
TUESDAY IN THE THIRD WEEK OF LENT
STATION – ST. PUDENTIANA


The church of St. Pudentiana, on the Viminal hill, was one of the most venerated places for Roman Christians. St. Pudentiana lived here with her sister, St. Praxedes. Here St. Peter received hospitality, and the first Christians often assembled. Today this church stands rather forgotten because it was closed for a very long time.

We turn to St. Pudentiana on this day. May she obtain for us by her powerful prayers:

1. The grace of mutual forgiveness, so that we may be able to say in truth: “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us.” Not seven times, but seventy times seven.

2. The grace also of true love for our glorious Lord and each other. Pudentiana shows us the way. Where charity and love reign there is God. Christ will then be in our midst. And He shall be the Savior, Lord and King of our hearts and our home.

Let us pray: May the effect of our redemption be applied unto us, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by means of Thy grace, ever restraining us from human excesses and conducting us to the gift of salvation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
