Gospel: Lk 11:1-13

Hear, O Lord, the prayer which we offer you,

made worthy by the intercession

of your faithful servant

and our protection St. Nicholas

whose witness during life on earth

was pleasing to you as his prayer is now in heaven.

We recognize our weaknesses and our sins,

but we trust in the fraternal aid of St. Nicholas

whom you, O Lord, wished to raise up

in our midst as a sign and instrument of your providence.

Sustain us with your prayer,

O St. Nicholas, and do not abandon us,

because we who invoke you as protector

know that in you we have a valid model of Christian life,

and a powerful incentive for advancing in goodness and virtue.

We desire to have, O St. Nicholas,

your faith, your hope and your charity in order

to be more grateful to the Lord and worthier

to be heard, but finding ourselves so poor we trust

in the infinite goodness and mercy

of the Lord obtained for us

by your powerful intercession.

Amen…

In this 11th episode of OSApan, we get to know the Augustinian parish in Quirino Province, the St. Augustinian Parish of Hippo with the Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Exuper Lumintac, OSA. 

The only Augustinian parish in the Bicol region. It is named under the Order's spiritual founder, St. Augustine of Hippo. Let us get t know more about the parish with Rev. Fr Cyril Jeth Tagalog, OSA, the parochial vicar. 

Faithful God,

light of all hearts,

we praise you for St. Monica,

woman of living faith and reconciling love.

She nursed her son, St. Augustine,

in the name of Jesus,

and urged him tirelessly to a Christian way of life.

In answer to her prayers

for St. Augustine’s conversion,

you gave her greater joy than

all hear tears had dared to ask.

Through the intercession

of St. Monica, we ask you to hear our prayers.

As you once captivated the heart of St. Augustine,

so now draw our hearts to you,

beauty ever ancient, ever new.

Amen.
