It is called,

"Witnesses and Missionaries of Redemption"

Our own Fr Provincial has a chapter in this book!

Jesus calls you by your name (cf.1 Sam 3)

to proclaim the year of the Lord's grace (Lk 4 18)

Jesus our Blessed Redeemer,

Help us to  be strong in faith, joyful in hope, burning with charity, on fire with zeal, and humble of heart while persevering in prayer.

Grant us to be apostolic men and true sons of St Alphonsus along with joy to you, our Saviour.

Allow us to be part of your mystery, announcing it with gospel simplicity of life and speech.

Finally, help us to deny ourselves and always be ready to face bravely any challenge in bringing to your people the abundance of Redemption.

Amen
