Intercessory Prayer to the Holy Martyrs

Holy Martyrs,
protect this land which you have blessed
by the shedding of your blood.
Renew in these days our Catholic faith
which you helped to establish in this new land.
Bring all our fellow citizens
to a knowledge and love of the truth.
Make us zealous in the profession of our faith
so that we may continue and perfect
the work which you have begun
with so much labour and suffering.
Pray for our homes, our schools, our missions,
for vocations, for the conversion of sinners,
the return of those who have wandered from the fold,
and the perseverance for all the Faithful.
And foster a deeper and increasing unity
among all Christians.
Amen.
