Word of the Year: A Catholic Alternative

Instead of a resolution, pick a 'Saint of the Year' or a 'Virtue of the Year.' Let the Holy Spirit guide your theme.

Resolutions are about doing. A "Word of the Year" is about being. It is a theme that flavors your whole year.

How to Pick One

Don't brainstorm. Pray. Ask the Holy Spirit: "What grace do I need most right now?"

  • Anxiety? -> Trust.
  • Anger? -> Gentleness.
  • Busy? -> Silence.

Saint of the Year

Use our Saint Generator to pick a random saint. Or rather, let them pick you. Research their life. Ask for their intercession daily. You might be surprised why they showed up.


Who picked you? Find out on the MyPrayerTower app.



A Prayer for Grace

As you reflect on these spiritual truths, we invite you to join us in this prayer:

"Lord Jesus, we thank You for the wisdom of the Church and the witness of the saints. Grant us the grace to live out our faith with joy and perseverance. May our prayers be a sweet incense rising to Your throne, and may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen."
