Pray daily for the Missions
OUR FATHER who art in Heaven,
hallowed be Thy name;
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
HAIL MARY full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death
Amen.
GLORY BE TO THE FATHER
and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
St. Francis Xavier, pray for us.
St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us.
Prayer From the Propagation of the Faith
Father,
You will Your Church to be
the sacrament of salvation
for all peoples.
Make us feel more urgently
the call to work
for the salvation of all,
until You have made us all one people.
Inspire the hearts of all your people
to continue the saving work of Christ
everywhere, even to the ends
of the earth.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus
Christ, Your Son, who lives and
reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
EN ESPANOL:
Oracion Para La Propagacion de la Fe
Padre,
Tú haces que Tu Iglesia sea el sacramento de salvación
Para todas las personas.
Haz que sintamos con profundidad el llamado para trabajar hacia la salvacion de todos,
Hasta que Tú nos hayas hecho un solo pueblo.
Inspira los corazones de todo Tu pueblo para que continuen el trabajo redentor
De Cristo por todas partes,
Hasta las orillas del mundo.
Concedenos esto en nombre de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo,
Tu hijo, quien vive y reina contigo y en
el Espiritu Santo, un Dios, ahora y siempre.
Amén.
