Texte de la prière
Saint Pedro Calungsod, join your prayers to mine before our loving God. Pray for young people seeking their path and for those who share the faith through teaching and service. Help us listen with respect, learn with humility, and speak of Jesus through both words and actions. Ask for courage when we are misunderstood, prudence when we face danger, and joyful perseverance in the work God entrusts to us. Intercede for the intentions I now hold in silence, especially for those who have no one to pray with them. May every grace we receive draw us closer to Jesus and make us more ready to serve our neighbour. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
