Prayer of the Week
Lord God, by the preaching of St Francis Xavier you brought many nations to yourself. Give his zeal for the faith to all who believe in you, that your Church may rejoice in continued growth throughout the world.
May this prayer fill us with the same love that inspired Francis Xavier to work for the salvation of all.
Help us to live our Christian calling and to inherit the promise of eternal life. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
