Siku ya 3
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 upendo wako uliomwongoza kufuata wito wake wa kitawa na kuingia kwa Wajesuiti.
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, ulihisi umeitwa kumtumikia Mungu kwa namna kamili tangu ukiwa kijana. Ulivutiwa na kazi ya umisionari, na ulitamani kuwa padre Mjesuiti.
Tafadhali ziwasilishe haja zangu mbele ya Mungu ambaye ulimpenda sana!
Familia yako ilipinga wito wako, lakini hukuyumba katika azimio lako. Licha ya shinikizo la familia yako na kupoteza urithi wako, ulimtumikia Mungu kwa moyo wote kama Mjesuiti.
Uniombee, ili nimtumikie Mungu kwa moyo wote kama wewe ulivyofanya. Omba nisiruhusu vizuizi vinizuie kuitikia wito wa Mungu.
Tafadhali ombea pia (taja nia zako hapa).
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, utuombee!
Kwa Jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.
Amina.

Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Aloysius Gonzaga as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the love of You that led him to follow his religious vocation and enter the Jesuits.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you felt called to serve God in a radical way ever since you were young. You felt drawn to missionary work, and you longed to become a Jesuit priest.
Please bring my petitions before God Whom you loved so deeply!
Your family was opposed to your vocation, but you did not waver in your determination. Despite pressure from your family and the loss of your inheritance, you wholeheartedly served God as a Jesuit.
Pray for me, that I may serve God as wholeheartedly as you did. Pray that I may never allow obstacles to deter me from answering God’s call.
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.
