Prayer to Saint Hyacinth
O holy St. Hyacinth, we ask you to intercede for us and win God's blessings for us.
We come together as family to bring praise and worship to the Father. May we live lives that are holy.
Bless us with your devotion to Mary the Mother of God and with an ardent faith in Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
Win for us the graces to continue to live according to gospel values and the teachings of the church.
Intercede for us and protect us as we place ourselves under your patronage and care."
