Siku ya 4
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 kuukataa urithi wa dunia na kukufuata.
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, ulizaliwa katika familia yenye mali. Wazazi wako walitarajia uchukue kazi ya kidunia, lakini ulidumu katika tamaa yako ya kumtumikia Mungu katika wito wa kitawa.
Tafadhali dumu kuziwasilisha haja zangu mbele ya Mungu!
Ulibidi uchague kati ya urithi wako na wito wako wa kitawa. Licha ya shinikizo la familia yako, ulichagua kumtumikia Mungu katika njia aliyokuwa anakuita.
Uniombee, ili daima nichague kumtumikia Mungu, gharama yoyote iwe. Omba nisiruhusu mvuto wa dunia uniongoze mbali na Mungu.
Tafadhali ombea pia (taja nia zako hapa).
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, utuombee!
Kwa Jina la Baba, na la Mwana, na la Roho Mtakatifu.
Amina.

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 renounce his worldly inheritance and follow You.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you were born into a family of wealthy means. Your parents expected you to take up a worldly profession, but you persevered in your desire to serve God in a religious vocation.
Please persevere in bringing my petitions before God!
You had to choose between your inheritance and your religious vocation. Despite the pressures of your family, you chose to serve God in the path He was calling you to.
Pray for me, that I may always choose to serve God, no matter the cost. Pray that I may never allow worldly influence to lead me away from God.
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.
