Thank You San Pedro Calungsod

I remembered wanting to make my way to the altar of San Isidro Parish where Eds and I would attend Sunday masses and Wednesday novenas to touch the replica image of San Pedro Calungsod which was flown from the Vatican. I immediately walked my way passed other paishoners and headed straight to the image which was right infront of the altar.While others were waiting to kiss the parish priest's hands, I rushed to the image, said a brief prayer asking for a baby for Eds and I  and asking for his intercession for the recovery of my father who was just released from the hospital after a mild stroke before holding his hands and rubbing it on my belly. Who would have known that two weeks after my encounter with San Pedro Calungsod, all of my prayers will be answered.

Sharing this prayer to our beloved San Pedro Calungsod...

Prayer to Blessed Pedro Calungsod

Blessed Pedro Calungsod,
student, catechist, young migrant,
missionary, faithful friend, martyr,
you inspire us
by your fidelity in times of adversity;
by your courage in teaching the faith
in the midst of hostility;
and by your love in shedding your blood
for the sake of the Gospel.

Make our troubles your own
(here mention your request)
and intercede for us
before the throne of Mercy and Grace
so that,
as we experience the help of heaven,
we may be encouraged to live
and proclaim the Gospel here on earth.
Amen.
