Today is the feast of the English Martyrs, those who gave their life to defend the faith at a time we weren’t allowed to practice. While not the same, today we can’t gather at this time to receive the sacraments so let us ask their intercession to God that we will be able to come together again very soon.
Oh God, in whom there is no change or shadow of alteration, you gave courage to the Holy Martyrs. Grant unto us, we beseech you, through their intercession, the grace to always value the Holy Mass. May we be strengthened to serve you in imitation of the courage of these Holy Martyrs. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever. Amen.
