Saint Gaspar Bertoni, which generous self-giving

you followed the path of filial abandonment

to Divine Providence

and came to live for God and His glory alone,

dedicating your life for the benefit of others.

Intercede for us to have the strength not to be overwhelmed

with the cares of our own lives.

May we accept with love, faith and hope God’s Divine Will.

Obtain for us,

through the intercession of Mary Most Holy and St. Joseph,

whom you chose as special patrons, the graces which we now need…

Help us to reach the Father’s house one day,

to sing there with you our own hymn of eternal gratitude.

We ask you for one more favor.

You, who were a tireless apostle for the youth,

who lived in difficult times,

come now to the assistance

of so many young people,

who are searching for God’s love.

Intercede for them that they might discover the light of faith

and live in the grace and love of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
