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,

As You made St. Alphonsus a faithful minister and preacher of the Holy eucharist,

May all who believe in You receive it often,

We make our prayer through Christ, Our Lord.  Amen.
