Siku ya 5
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 aliokuonyesha kwa kuchagua kukutumikia kama Mjesuiti.
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, njia ya wito wako wa kitawa haikuwa rahisi. Ulikutana na upinzani mwingi kutoka kwa familia yako, lakini uliendelea katika njia ambayo Mungu alikuwa anakuita kuifuata.
Tafadhali endelea kuziwasilisha haja zangu mbele ya Mungu!
Ulichagua kuacha urithi wako ili uwe padre Mjesuiti. Baada ya kuingia katika shirika, ulikutana na magumu mengine kwa sababu ya afya yako dhaifu. Lakini ulifanya yote uliyoweza kumtumikia Mungu kwa ustahili.
Uniombee, ili nisiruhusu kamwe magumu yanizuie kumtumikia Mungu. Omba niwe tayari na mwenye hiari kumtumikia katika njia yoyote atakayoniita.
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 he showed in choosing to serve You as a Jesuit.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, the path to your religious vocation was not easy. You faced a lot of opposition from your family, but you continued on in the path God was calling you to follow.
Please continue to bring my petitions before God!
You chose to give up your inheritance, in order to become a Jesuit priest. Once you entered the order, you faced further difficulties in your poor health. But you did all you could to serve God worthily.
Pray for me, that I may never allow difficulties to deter me from serving God. Pray that I may be ready and willing to serve Him in whatever path He calls 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.
