Matt Talbot's Birthday

+2 May 1856 – 7 June 1925+

Lord, in your servant, Matt Talbot you 

have given us a wonderful example of 

triumph over addiction, of devotion to 

duty, and of lifelong reverence for the 

Holy Sacrament. May his life of 

prayer and penance give us courage 

to take up our crosses and follow in the 

footsteps of Our Lord and Saviour, 

Jesus Christ. 

Father, if it be your will that your 

beloved servant should be glorified by 

your Church, make known by your 

heavenly favours the power he enjoys in 

your sight. We ask this through the 

same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
