TODAY'S SAINT (Edward Jones & Anthony Middleton)

BLESSED GISELE

Widow

Blessed Gisele was given in marriage to St. Stephen of Hungary in 1008. She bore him a son, who went on to become St. Emeric, and fully supported him in his work of evangelization. After the death of her husband, Gisele retired to the Benedictine Abbey of Niederburg and spent her remaining time on earth in prayer and selfdenial.

PRAYER

God, You inspired Blessed Gisele to strive for

perfect charity and so attain Your Kingdom at

the end of her pilgrimage on earth. Strengthen

us through her interecession that we may adv-

ance rejoicing in the way of love. Amen.
