Señor Santo Niño de Cebu,
you are the abiding presence of the Father in our journey of faith.
As we celebrate the 500th anniversary
of the arrival of your miraculous image on our shores,
we humbly ask you to send the Holy Spirit upon us
so that we may become your faithful apostles
in the vast and complex arena of today’s world.
May our Christian faith and our deep devotion to You
become the source of renewal in our society
as we go along our pilgrim way to You,
who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
