Lord Jesus Christ, who, for the salvation of all 
people, founded Your Church in the Blood of 
Sacrifice, look with mercy on this land of ours 
where Your truth is unknown to many for 
whom You endured Your passion and death. 
We commend to Your Sacred Heart the work 
of carrying Your gospel to the mission regions 
of America. Raise up holy and zealous 
apostles to bring Your words of salvation to 
souls now thirsting for the truth. Have mercy 
on them, Lord, and send shepherds to lead 
them into Your one true fold. Amen!

Our Lady of the Fields, pray for them.
Saint Joseph, friend of forgotten souls,
pray for them.
Holy Apostles and Martyrs, pray for them.
Holy Confessors and Virgins, pray for them,
that through our labors we may hope to win for 
them the Divine gift of faith. Amen.
