MARY, QUEEN OF ALL SAINTS,
PRAY FOR US.


Paul begins his epistle to the Romans by addressing "all the beloved of God in Rome, called to be holy." In Rome or not, we are the beloved of God, all called to be holy. Pray to the newly canonized and/or your favorite saint to intercede for you and guide you along the path to holiness. 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Christ Jesus, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise and the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved. 
(Eph 1:3-6)

In the Church, everyone whether belonging to the hierarchy, or being cared for by it, is called to holiness, according to the saying of the Apostle: "For this is the will of God, your sanctification" (1 Th 4:3).
(Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium, 39)


POPE SAINT CALLISTUS I,
PRAY FOR US.
