Hi, guys —

  • Is there a Catholic patron saint or Catholic prayer that will help me to get more time, energy, and motivation?

I'm a mom who works two jobs.

Mike replied:

Hi Jenn,

If you are working two jobs, you should definitely be praying to the Patron Saint of Workers, one of my favorite patron saints, St. Joseph! This pope even wrote a prayer on St. Joseph’s behalf.

Time
Saint Expeditus is known as the patron saint of urgent causes and time. 

Energy
Saint Sebastian is an early Christian saint and martyr who is often depicted in art and literature tied to a tree or post and shot with arrows. His artistic depiction is symbolic of the virtues and gifts of strength, stamina, perseverance, courage, and justice in the face of adversity.

Motivation and Public Speaking:
St John Chrysostom is a saint for public speakers.

I think you’ll have a tough time finding a prayer from any of the above saints, except St. Joseph, but at least you can read up on these saints and maybe stumble across a prayer or two.

Who is the most powerful Catholic saint?

Saint Michael has long been recognized as the protector and guardian of the Church itself and the angel of the Blessed Sacrament., So, learn to pray the St. Michael the Archangel prayer daily!

Saint Michael the Archangel Prayer

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host —
by the Divine Power of God —
cast into Hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

O glorious prince St. Michael,
chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King
and our admirable conductor,
you who shine with excellence
and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil,
who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection
to serve God more and more faithfully every day.

Amen.
