You have given us St. Sebastian to be the model of Christian life and virtues. In times of adversities, he showed courage to endure human pain and suffering. In times of doubt, genuine faith in Christ. In times of wickedness, he remains truthful to your Gospel. We ask you, dear God, to make us aware of our duties and Responsibilities as soldiers of Christ in the modern world. Give us the courage to face many forms of threat to our Christian faith. Make us always faithful to Christ, our Lord and Savior. Above all, keep us always true to Your loving Words. That we may receive the same blessings You showed to St. Sebastian. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Agustine, we entrust our minds and hearts to your loving mercy. And all these we ask in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.
