Daily Meditation for November 10, 2026

We can always call on the saints to intercede for us anytime throughout our lives. There are, of course, famous ones who get called on more frequently. Saint Anthony of Padua, for example, keeps especially busy as he is often needed to help find lost items. The famous prayer goes something like “Tony, Tony, look around. Something’s lost that must be found.”  As we reflect on the month of November and on this season of fall, St. Hildegard models for us the need to let go of things beyond our control. She was a mystic, composer, musician, leader, visionary, herbalist, and Doctor of the Church. She lived her life “as a feather on the breath of God.” Although she faced her share of challenges, she persevered and followed God’s will. St. Hildegard and all the saints (known and unknown), intercede for us.
