O Lord Jesus Christ, eternal High Priest of our souls, You sent Your apostles and disciples into the whole world in order to bring to all people the good news of Your love. On the eve of Your supreme sacrifice for the salvation of the world, at Your last supper, You prayed the heavenly Father that the Church may be one.
Look kindly upon the Romanian people, from whose midst You chose Your Servants Valeriu Traian FRENTIU, Iuliu HOSSU, Alexandru RUSU, Ioan BALAN, Ioan SUCIU, Vasile AFTENIE and Tit Liviu CHINEZU – bishops who died with the fame of martyrs under the communist regime. They gave witness to You with apostolic zeal on this earth, and sealed their unshakable faith in You, in the Catholic Church, and in the successor of saint Peter, our Holy father the Pope, with the very price of their martyrdom.
Make their example of faith and love shine even more among us. Thus, we pray that You reveal the worthiness of these Your servants on earth, raising them to the honor of the altar, that through their intercession You may bestow upon us the graces we need to become one Flock with one Shepherd.
For to You are due all glory, honor and worship, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory to the Father…
