May 3 San Filippo Apostolo. Prayer to ask the Saint for help

PRAYER TO SAINT PHILIP APOSTLE

Glorious St. Philip, who followed Jesus at the first invitation
willing, and recognized as the Messiah promised by Moses and the
Prophets, filled with holy enthusiasm, you announced it to friends, because
faithful flocked to hear his word;
you who were the intercessor of the Gentiles to the divine Master and who
you were particularly instructed by him on the great mystery of the Trinity;
you who finally yearned for martyrdom as for the crown of the apostolate:

Pray for us,
so that our mind is illuminated by the sublime
truth of faith and our heart attaches strongly to divine teachings.

Pray for us,
so that the strength to endure the mystical cross of
pain with which we will be able to follow the Redeemer on the way to

Calvary is in the way of glory.

Pray for us,
for our families, for our distant brothers, for our homeland,
so that the law of the Gospel, which is the law of love, triumphs in all hearts.
