Lord God,
by the preaching of St. Francis Xavier
you brought many nations to yourself.

Give his zeal for the faith to all who believe in you,
that your Church may rejoice in continued growth
throughout the world.

May this prayer fill us with the same love that inspired
Francis Xavier to work for the salvation of all.

Through the intercession of St. Francis Xavier,
may more men be called to serve Christ
in the Society of Jesus.

We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen.
