Siku ya 2
Kwa Jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.
Amina.
Bwana mpendwa, tunakushukuru kwa kutupatia Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga kama mfano wa utakatifu. Utusaidie kuiga uwazi kwa mapenzi yako aliouonyesha alipokuwa akitambua wito wake.
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, ulivutiwa na kazi ya umisionari tangu ukiwa mdogo sana. Ulitiwa moyo na kazi ya wamisionari Wajesuiti, hivyo ukaanza kutambua jinsi Mungu alivyokuwa anakuita umtumikie.
Tafadhali ziwasilishe haja zangu mbele ya Mungu ambaye ulitamani kumtumikia!
Ulitembelea mashirika ya kitawa na ukaanza kufundisha katekisimu, huku ukitafuta mapenzi ya Mungu kwa maisha yako. Punde ukaamua kwamba wito wako ulikuwa kumtumikia Mungu katika Shirika la Wajesuiti.
Uniombee, ili niwe wazi kwa mapenzi ya Mungu katika maisha yangu. Omba niwe wazi daima kwa njia yoyote ambayo anaweza kuniitia.
Tafadhali ombea pia (taja nia zako hapa).
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, utuombee!
Kwa Jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.
Amina.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Aloysius Gonzaga as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the openness to Your will that he showed in discerning his vocation.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you felt drawn to missionary work from the time you were very young. You were inspired by the work of Jesuit missionaries, so you began to discern how God was calling you to serve Him.
Please bring my petitions before God Whom you longed to serve!
You visited religious orders and began teaching catechism classes, as you sought God’s will for your life. You soon determined that your vocation was to serve God in the Jesuit religious order.
Pray for me, that I may be open to God’s will in my life. Pray that I may always be open to whatever path He might call me to.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here).
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, pray for us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
