PRAYER OF THE DAY

Prayer to St. Oliver Plunkett

Glorious Martyr, Oliver, who willingly
gave your life for your faith,
help us also to be strong in faith.

May we be loyal like you
to the See of Peter.
By your intercession and example
may all hatred and bitterness
be banished from the hearts
of Irish men and women.

May the peace of Christ reign
in our hearts,
as it did in your heart,
even at the moment of your death.
Pray for us and for Ireland.

Amen.
