God, Father of love, You have called Arnold and Joseph

to follow your Son, the Divine Word,

to proclaim the Gospel to all peoples.

Burning with love for Him and filled with His Spirit, they

dedicated themselves totally to the work of spreading

your kingdom of love and peace.

May the testimony of these saints continue to inspire us today

just as it has inspired so many generations of missionaries

in many parts of the world.

Like them, ignite our hearts

with burning love for Jesus, who called us to the same mission.

Teach us to build communities where dialogue is learned

and life-creating relationships are created.

May the total donation of your Son in the Eucharist

be an example for our community life,

so that we become signs of the infinite love you have for the world.

Teach us to experience joy in the diversity of peoples

and transform our world into one heart made alive by the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Arnold, Joseph, Maria Helena, Josepha and SVD martyrs intercede for us and help us in our apostolic activities.
