Almighty God,our creator and guide.
You chose St. Aidan to establish a church at Ferns and to preach
the Good News of your son, Jesus Christ.

Through his intercession,we pray that we remain
true to the faith which he brought to Ferns:
that we listen to the word of God;
following the teaching of our Holy Father;
and remain loyal to the tradition of our faith.

All powerful Father,
through the intercession of St Aidan,
I ask you to listen to and grant my prayer
and request…

I ask these prayers
through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit,One God for ever and ever. Amen
