Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos' Top 10 Practical Guide to Holiness


1. Go to Mass with deepest devotion.

2. Spend a half hour to reflect upon your main failing & make resolutions to avoid it.

3. Do daily spiritual reading for at least 15 minutes, if a half hour is not possible.

4. Say the rosary every day.

5. Also daily, if at all possible, visit the Blessed Sacrament; and toward evening, meditate on the Passion of Christ for a half hour.

6. Conclude the day with evening prayer & an examination of conscience over all the faults & sins of the day.

7. Every month make a review of the month in confession.

8. Choose a special patron every month & imitate that patron in some special virtue.

9. Precede every great feast with a novena, that is, nine days of devotion.

10. Try to begin & end every activity with a “Hail Mary.”


Divine Physician, You infused Francis Xavier Seelos with the gift of Your healing.
By the help of his prayers, sustain in me the grace to know Your will
and the strength to overcome my afflictions. For love of You, make me whole.
May I learn from the example of Blessed Father Seelos
and gain comfort from his patient endurance.
Amen.
