For Courage in Faith
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Witness of Truth By standing up for their beliefs, the English Martyrs became powerful witnesses of the truth. Their lives remind us that our faith must be shared, even in the face of adversity. Their courage calls us to be bold in our own witness of the good news of Christ. O Holy Martyrs, who boldly shared the truth of the Gospel, inspire us to be fearless in our witness. Grant us the courage to proclaim our faith with confidence, unafraid of the consequences. May your example encourage us to spread love and hope in our world. I ask for your intercession for my intention. (mention request here…) Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
