1. For our country, and for civil authorities on the local and national levels.
2. That through the intercession of St. Cajetan, religious reformer and co-founder of the Theatines, the Congregation of the Resurrection may be blessed with vocations.
3. May the martyrdom of St. Sixtus II serve as inspiration to us as we strive to proclaim the message of the Resurrection.

FURTHER REFLECTION:

“Your [Apostles] relationship with us, and our relationship with you, is always a two-way street, and so it not only us enriching your lives, but also you enriching our lives.” (Apostles of the Resurrection Handbook, 16)
