Novena Prayer to St. Gonsalo Garcia

Heavenly Father, in order to spread the Good News to the far east in Japan, you inspired St. Gonsalo Garcia to imitate your Son and embrace the Cross.

The blood of his martyrdom sanctified the Japanese soil and established the Christian faith in Japan.

As we venerate St. Gonsalo as the patron of our Diocese, and India's first canonized Saint. We pray that we too may experience the same fire and zeal for your Gospel which kindled in the heart of St. Gonsalo.

Through the intercession of St. Gonsalo, we pray for special blessings, grace, and good health for every person in our Diocese.

Inspired by the life and sacrifice of St. Gonsalo, may our young people choose to work in your vineyard.

May our lives of sacrifice and mutual love bear witness to the same faith that St. Gonsalo Garcia professed and died for. We make our prayer through Christ our Lord, Amen

Say 1: Our Father...

Say 1: Hail Mary...

St. Gonsalo Garcia Pray for us.
