Prayer for Writers: St. Frances de Sales

May the Lord guide me and all those who write for a living. Through your prayers, St. Frances de Sales, I ask for your intercession as I attempt to bring the written word to the world. Let us pray that God takes me in the palm of His hand and inspires my creativity and inspires my success. St. Francis de Sales, you understand the dedication required in this profession. Pray for God to inspire and allow ideas to flow. In His name, let my words reflect my faith for others to read. Amen.

I would like to note that I am not the author of this prayer. I found it on a Catholic web site a short time ago and have wanted to post it here since I began this blog.

St. Frances de Sales is the patron saint of writers. His "Introduction to the Devout Life" is a spiritual classic and a primer on how to become a saint.
