St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs of Uganda
"It is as if you are pouring water on me. Please repent and become a Christian like me." - Saint Charles Lwanga to his executioner
We thank you Jesus for loving us so much and caring so deeply that we love one another. Help us to love as you love. May the Holy Spirit inspire us to always love you, Lord and God, with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength and to love our neighbor as ourselves.
May we love you with all our heart and so love you exclusively. May we love you with all our soul for in you we find our true fulfillment. May we love you with all our mind as we seek to obey and follow your command. May we love you with all our strength for we place our trust and confidence in you as we face trials and difficulties.
Lord Jesus, help us to love those you put in our way today and so bring glory to your name and show them your love. May we marvel always at the blessings that come our way today from you, our loving God, and give you praise.
Amen.
Fr. Vidal Martinez, OSM
