Official Prayer for the 50th Year of Rogationist's Presence in the Philippines
Almighty and Loving Father, Lord of the harvest, all glory, praise, and honor to You. Fifty years ago, You have sent the Rogationist Missionaries to the Philippines to sow the seed of the Rogate according to the Compassionate Heart of Jesus, who saw the vast people, tired and abandoned, like sheep without a Shepherd. You bestow on us grace upon grace, enabling us to mold our lives and be consolers of His heart toward the poor and the little ones. We thank You, O Father, for the gift of the Rogate seeded, sown, and spread through the St. Matthew Province. May You continue to grant us Your grace and blessings so that we can continue the mission and apostolate that You have commanded us to do. We beg for Your mercy for all our faults and failures, as You renew us to be Your prayerful and charitable servants. May Mary, our Queen and Mother of the Rogate,St. Hannibal Mary, and all the heavenly Rogationists continue to inspire and guide us to live in fidelity and fervent commitment, to be true Apostles of the Rogate, following the Heart of Jesus, Your Son. Amen.
