O most merciful and almighty God,
you bestowed as gift to Lorenzo Ruiz
the strength to withstand the overpowering forces of death
for the sake of his faith in you. Through his prayers, help us
to follow his example by overcoming all life’s trials and eventually,
increase our hope and love in You. O San Lorenzo Ruiz,
you brought honor to our country, having been a level-headed
and prudent father of the family, a witness of Christ in your life
until your death. We present all our petitions to God through your help
so that by our actions, we may know more and love more
Jesus our Lord and Savior. We humbly implore your intercession,
o dear San Lorenzo, for the infinite glory of God
and in honor of your triumph as a martyr of Christ
and defender of Christianity. Amen.
