Prayer -
Almighty and eternal God,
who gave to the priests and martyrs
Blessed Joseph Calasanz and Henry Sáiz,
and their companions martyrs
the grace to share in the passion of Christ,
come to the aid of our weakness;
and as they did not hesitate to die for you,
grant also to us that we may live courageously in confessing your name.
Through Our Lord Jesus Christ your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever.
