Patron Saint of Patron of Sweden

Dear Jesus, kneeling before You, we sincerely ask for Your mercy through Your most holy wounds and the Precious Blood You shed for the redemption of all mankind. We plead that You would gaze compassionately upon the people of Scandinavia, who have long been led astray from the Faith, lost in the shadows of heresy, and cut off from Your Holy Church. They are deprived of the profound gift of Your Body and Blood, as well as the other Sacraments You established as a sanctuary for souls in this life and beyond. O Redeemer of humanity, recall that for their sake, too, You endured a painful death and shed Your blood completely. Restore, O good Shepherd, these straying sheep of Yours to the unity of the flock and the nourishing fields of Your Church, that they may join us as one congregation under Your care, guided by Your Vicar on earth, the supreme Pontiff, whom You appointed through the Apostle St. Peter to shepherd Your flock. Hear our prayers, O good Jesus, which we lift to You with steadfast faith in the love of Your Sacred Heart. May praise, glory, and honour be given to Your most holy Name, now and forever. Amen.
