St. Isaac Jogues and Companions

Tomorrow, October 19th, is the Memorial of St. Isaac Jogues and his companions. These 8 men were French Jesuit missionaries to North America in the 17th century. They were all martyred in the 1640's. Read more about St. Isaac Jogues here.

Prayer:
Almighty God, You consecrated the spread of the Faith in North America by the blood of St. Isaac Jogues and his companions who were preaching the Faith to the Indians. Through their intercession let more people everywhere respond to the Good News of salvation. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
