San Pedro Calungsod, student, catechist, missionary, faithful friend, martyr, you inspire us by your fidelity through adversity, by your courage in teaching the Faith in the midst of hostility, and by your love when you shed your blood for the sake of the Gospel. Make our prayers your own.
Pause here for the grace you are asking.
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.
Lord Jesus Christ, we kneel before You in worship, praise, and thanksgiving for the infinite love that You have shown to us sinners through Your humble Incarnation, bitter Passion, and cruel death on the Cross.
By Your wounds we are healed. By Your death, we are restored to life. Forgive us for not having returned love for Your love.
In Your suffering, You have left us an example so that we may follow in Your footsteps. The life of Your young martyr and our brother, San Pedro Calungsod, proves to us that it is possible to follow You even up to death.
Be pleased with this novena that we are making in his memory.
With his help, we shall strive to be living witnesses to Your love, through patient endurance in daily trials and selfless service to our neighbor, so that after having joined You in Your redeeming Passion here on earth, we may also come to share in Your glorious Resurrection at the end of time and love You eternally in Heaven, where You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Saint Pedro Calungsod, pray for us!
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
