PRAYER FOR THE FEAST OF ST. ALPHONSUS LIGUORI
Father,
You constantly build up Your Church by the lives of your Saints.
Give us grace to follow St. Alphonsus in his loving concern for the salvation of humankind,
and so come to share his reward in Heaven.
As You made St. Alphonsus a faithful minister and preacher of the Holy eucharist,
May all who believe in You receive it often,
and give you never-ending praise.
We make our prayer through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
St. Alphonsus Liguori, pray for us.
All our Redemptorist Saints, pray for us.
