affliction. Cast an eye of compassion on obstinate sinners and heretics and unbelievers.
Give eternal rest to the faithful departed.
Bless in particular the apostolic labors of those who are engaged in giving missions and retreats, in propagating the Faith in heathen lands, in spreading Thy kingdom on earth, and in fostering devotion to Thy most sacred Heart and to the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen.
Prayer for the Propagation of Faith and Piety
ETERNAL Father, by Thy infinite mercy and by the infinite merits of Thy divine Son Jesus, make Thyself known and loved by all souls, since it is Thy will that all should be saved.
Gloria Patri.
Through the sacred mysteries of human redemption send, O Lord, laborers into Thy harvest, and spare Thy people.
Eternal Word incarnate. Redeemer of the human race, convert all souls to Thyself, since for them Thou wast obedient even to the death of the Cross.
Gloria Patri.
Through the merits and intercession of Thy most holy Mother, and of all the angels and saints, send, O Lord, laborers into Thy harvest, and spare Thy people.
