God the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us!
Son, Redeemer of the world of God, have mercy on us!
Holy Spirit of God, have mercy on us!
Holy Mary - pray for us!
Mother of the Church,
Queen of Martyrs,
Blessed John Sarkandra, — pray for us!
Martyr for faith?
A zealous servant of Christ the Lord,
Tireless publisher of the Word of God,
Martyr of unity and reconciliation,
An example of priestly zeal,
Model of confessors,
Unwavering guardian of the secret of confession, — pray for us!
Calling sinners to repentance.
Courageously defending the rights of the Church,
Model of Christian perfection,
A model of patience and humility,
An advocate for all needs,
Patrons of Cieszyn Silesia,
Be merciful to us, - save us, Lord!
From every sin,
From complications of conscience,
From postponing confession and penance,
From the dangers that threaten body and soul,
From fake people and betrayal of friends,
From revealing the secrets entrusted to us, — save us, Lord!
From neglecting the obligations of our vocation,
By your condemnation to death on the cross,
By your shameful equation with thieves,
By the mockery of the Pharisees,
Through Your sacrificial death,
On the day of your judgment,
We are the sinners, We ask you, — hear us out, Lord!
That You would deign to bring us to true repentance,
That you would deign to lead us to read and love the Scriptures,
That You would deign to grant us the grace of conversion and holiness of life,
That You would deign to bring all Christians to unity of faith,
That you deign to multiply the honor of Blessed Jan Sarkander,
That you would deign to accept the requests of all His worshipers,
Son of God,
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, let us pass, Lord!
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, hear us out, Lord!
Lamb of God, who take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us!
K. Pray for us, blessed John Sarkandra,
W. That we may become worthy of Christ's promises.
Let's pray. God, one of blessed John, he deigned to strengthen the martyr in professing his true faith, * we ask you, grant us the grace of courageous perseverance in holy faith * and cases, that, through his intercession, we spread unity of thoughts and hearts among all believers of the Gospel. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.
LITHANIA TO GOD. JANA SARKANDRA
