Prayer for the First Martyrs of Rome
(June 30)
O God, eternal Father,
who kindled the fire of faith in the hearts of the first martyrs of Rome,
and allowed their blood to become the seed of Your Church, we praise You for the countless witnesses
who faced flames, beasts, and swords
with unwavering love for Christ. Through their courageous sacrifice,
the darkness of Nero’s persecution
was overcome by the light of the Gospel. Grant us, we humbly pray,
a share of their steadfast faith and holy boldness.
Strengthen us in times of trial,
comfort us in suffering,
and make us faithful witnesses to Your Son
in our own day. May their triumph fill us with hope,
their fidelity inspire our perseverance,
and their joyful entry into heaven
draw us ever closer to the eternal banquet
where every tear is wiped away. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.
Amen.
