Prayer for the Beatification ofServants of God Antonio Inija and Companions
O God, Father of many nations,
Who through the grace of baptism have chosen us
to be citizens of Your one Kingdom:
You called Antonio Inija and Companions
to accept Your gift of faith,
professing their hope in Your Only Begotten Son.
Help us with Your grace to imitate their courage and humility
in the face of suffering and death.
May the blood of the martyrs of La Florida
inspire our hearts to follow You without delay.
And, if it be Your Holy Will,
grant the Beatification of
Antonio Inija and Companions, and through their intercession,
grant the request we hereby make (state your intention),
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
With ecclesiastical approval
William A. Wack, CSC
Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee

"The martyrs of the United States belong to us; they are our brethren in the Faith, our benefactors, exemplars of courage and Christian Charity. It would seem that justice itself would place them where they so rightfully belong, in the forefront of American history and in the hearts of our people."
--Archbishop John Mark Gannon
Chair, Commission for the Beatification of the US Martyrs, 1957
