Saint Adalbert, Patron and Guardian of parishes,
we entrust you with our needs, our hard work and our very souls.
Through your intercession,
may we obtain the necessary grace to lead faithful lives,
may we always be guided by love and a sense of justice,
and may we always remain confident in God’s goodness and his love.
Lead those who have gone astray back to the Church.
Obtain penance for the weak
and perseverance for those who love you.
Protect and guide our married couples,
our families, and our youth.
Assist all parents in the raising of their children.
Pray to God for our sick and suffering parishioners.
Bless our parish.
Awaken in us a faithful spirit and a love for Our Lady.
Through your intercession, may we love our Church,
live in accordance with the commandments,
and may we achieve everlasting life.
Amen.
