Gracious God, you graced your servant St. Aloysius with zeal for holiness and goodness. In company with him we pray: 

God, in your love, hear us.  

Raise up courageous women and men in the Church who are zealous for the Gospel. 

God, in your love, hear us.  

Strengthen and heal those afflicted with AIDS, cancer, and other diseases. 

God, in your love, hear us.  

Inspire greater support for women in crisis pregnancies. 

God, in your love, hear us.  

Our Father . . .  

May God dispel all darkness from our hearts and empower us to bear the light of Christ to all we meet, by the power of the Holy Spirit working in us. Amen.
