Prayer to Saint Pedro Calungsod 2

Saint Pedro Calungsod, 
student, catechist, young migrant, 
missionary, faithful friend, martyr,
you inspire us
by your fidelity in times of adversity;
by your courage in teaching the faith
in the midst of hostility;
and by your love in shedding your blood
for the sake of the Gospel.
Make our troubles your own
and intercede for us
before the throne of Mercy and Grace
so that,
as we experience the help of heaven,
we may be encouraged to live
and proclaim the Gospel here on earth.
Amen.

Prayer to Saint Pedro Calungsod 1

O Saint* Pedro Calungsod, we call upon you who now enjoy the heavenly glory which you merited for following our Lord Jesus Christ along the way of the Cross. God has given you to us as a model of a true Christian; as a companion on our pilgrim way to the heavenly Kingdom; and as a helper in the midst of our difficulties. Make our troubles your own and intercede for us before the throne of Mercy and Grace so that like you we may also become fellow citizens of the saints there in heaven. Amen.






*originally, Blessed.
