    Dear Saint,

    Kindly pray for all the men who are chained to the lunatic of lust, I too am one of them. Pray for special grace to such souls to be freed from this devil and feel the presence of Christ within us. Enable and encourage all those who are slave to the lust of flesh to pray unceasingly so that the mercy of God dawns on them and dries up such thirsts and put in them the thirst for the spirit of the Lord. Purify the hearts and minds of the priests and nuns who are being held captive by the sin of flesh so that they may proclaim Christ with renewed vigor and zeal. Kindly strengthen me inwardly that I will be able to resist the temptation of flesh and lead a prayerful life seeking God alone for the sake God himself. Amen.

    Dear Beautiful St. Solange,
    Please pray for all the victims of rape through out the world. Please pray that they heal and recognize their worth and the love the Lord has for them. Please pray for all those who have raped that they would repent of their terrible act and vow to change from the disgusting ways they had lead their life and dedicate their lives to loving the Lord. Pure St. Solange pray for us!

    The Holy Spirit has directed me to this site and given the privilege to read the lives of saints is truly enlightening and inspiring. God works in mysterious ways and believing that He allows us to be afflicted with illness, is an awakening that His love for us brings us much closer to Him. A week ago, I was scheduled for a biopsy because of a small lump on my breast, which was the subject of the test if it was cancer or not.. I was so very worried. My husband is retired and is receiving a pension equivalent to 1/4 of his old earnings. Admittedly, it was a big slash on our household budget, considering that I also have a son still in the university. I am the major bread winner, and the company that I am working with for the past 13 years is in the process of sale. Anytime, I might lose my job. All these problems together, truly scared me. But what keeps me going is my Faith. Before my scheduled biopsy, again thru the workings of the Holy Spirit using my husband, an inactive member of the Knights of Columbus, he was called to St. Thomas More Catholic Church in Toronto, to help them in guarding the Sacred Relics of Saints. Not knowing what it was, I asked him to go, despite not being active. I volunteered to drive him there and just drop him off. But my mind told me to stay. When the priest started showing the slides and a few stories of the saints, I was so touched and happy. I had all the opportunity to pray before the relics and touch them. I fervently prayed for healing. I left the church after 3 hours with a light and joyful feeling. On the day of my biopsy, the xray technicians and doctor, after almost 2 hours of thorough xray examination and pictures, could not locate the lump. The biopsy did not happen. Praise the good Lord! I continue imploring the intercession of the saints and the Blessed Mother, that the Oncologist whose call I am still awaiting, to hear from him directly that the lump is indeed gone. But just the fact that my fears are gone, and that God speaks to me in my daily prayers are blessings of love and healing. I am so delighted to share this with you.

    Sweet St. Solange, pray for us, intercede for all women so that we honour our bodies as the temple of the Holy Spirit. Guard and guide all women, Protect innocent girls from all harm. I love your story. I rely on your wonderful intercession, on your feast day, that you will shower us with the wonderful grace of chastity, modesty and continence. Amen.
