PRAYER OF SAINT JOSAPHAT
Lord, help me to imitate Saint Stir up in your Church, we pray, O Lord, the Spirit that filled Saint Josaphat as he laid down his life for the sheep, so that through his intercession we, too, may be strengthened by the same Spirit and not be afraid to lay down our life for others.  Amen.
