Novena to the Holy Martyrs of Uganda

DAY 1

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Dear Lord, we thank You for the virtue and example of Your martyrs, St. Charles Lwanga and his Companions. Help us to imitate the deep love for Your Church that inspired them to spread the Catholic faith to others.

St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, despite the threat of suffering and death, you did not hesitate to teach others about Christ and bring them into His Church. You continued to preach the Gospel and lead others to God, even though doing so would lead to your death.

St. Joseph Mukasa Balikuddembe may you intercede for us to the Lord, for the courage to face the situations in our life. To be filled with the Holy Spirit to enable us discern and embrace the reality of the saving suffering which Christ overcame for our sake.

Faithful steward St. Athanasius Bazzekuketta, obtain for us the grace of accountability, faithfulness and responsibility in all areas of service, especially finances. May all people who serve society be good Christian role models for our young generation. Guide the leaders of the nations, Strengthen and encourage those in public health services and in the medical profession: care-givers, nurses, attendants, doctors, all who commit themselves to caring for the sick during this pandemic of Covid 19, Grant healing to all the sick.

I also pray for (mention your intentions here).

Our Father…….. Hail mary….. Glory Be to the Father…….
