Almighty and merciful God, you give us shepherds after his own heart, to render them capable of sacrificial love, following the example of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. Filled with so much love, Father Stefan Vincent Frelichowski participant sufferings of Christ, was martyred in the service of others who have suffered harm immensity, pain and abandonment. Going through the valley of evil is not feared, but bravely overcame evil with good. Deign, O Lord, through the intercession of the Blessed Stephen Vincent, grant me the grace … by which we humbly please. Affairs, in his goodness, to the heroic witness of pastoral charity soon attained the glory of the Saints. You who live and reign forever and ever.
Amen.
