The Martyrs of La Florida Missions

O God, Father of many nations,

Who through the grace of baptism have chosen us

to be citizens of Your one Kingdom:

You called Antonio Inija and Companions

to accept Your gift of faith,

professing their hope in Your Only Begotten Son.

Help us with Your grace to imitate their courage and humility

in the face of suffering and death.

May the blood of the martyrs of La Florida

inspire our hearts to follow You without delay.

And, if it be Your Holy Will,

grant the Beatification of

Antonio Inija and Companions, and through their intercession,

grant the request we hereby make (state your intention),

in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

With ecclesiastical approval
William A. Wack, CSC
Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee
