Siku ya 8
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 kuvumilia mateso mengi kwa subira na furaha.
Mtakatifu Aloysius Gonzaga, uliteseka sana kwa afya dhaifu katika maisha yako yote. Ulistahimili ugonjwa wa figo mapema maishani mwako, na ugonjwa huo uliendelea kukusumbua kwa miaka mingi. Licha ya ugonjwa wa ngozi, maumivu ya kichwa ya muda mrefu, na kukosa usingizi, uliendelea kumtumikia Mungu kwa furaha.
Tafadhali endelea kuziwasilisha haja zangu mbele ya Mungu ambaye ulimtumikia!
Kwa ujasiri ulichagua kujiweka katika hatari ya kupata ugonjwa zaidi kwa kuchagua kuwahudumia wale waliokuwa wakiteseka kwa janga.
Uniombee, ili daima nichague njia ya kumpenda Mungu, hata niteseke namna gani. Omba nivumilie mateso yote kwa subira, kwa upendo 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.

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 enduring many sufferings with patience and joy.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga, you suffered a lot from poor health throughout your life. You endured a disease of the kidneys early in your life, and this ailment continued to trouble you for years. Despite a skin disease, chronic headaches, and insomnia, you continued to joyfully serve God.
Please continue to bring my petitions before God Whom you served!
You courageously chose to expose yourself to more illness, in choosing to care for those suffering from an epidemic.
Pray for me, that I may always choose the path of love of God, no matter how I might suffer. Pray that I might endure all sufferings patiently, for the love of 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.
