Opening Prayer Lord Jesus Christ, we kneel before you in worship, praise and thanksgiving for the infinite love that you have shown to us sinners through your humble Incarnation, bitter Passion and cruel death on the Cross. By your wounds, we are healed. By your death, we are restored to life. Forgive us for not having returned love for your love. In your suffering, you have left us an example so that we may follow in your footsteps. The life of your young martyr and our brother, San Pedro Calungsod, proves to us that it is possible to follow you even up to death.
Be pleased with this novena that we are making in his memory. With his help, we shall strive to be living witnesses to your love through patient endurance in daily trials and selfless service to our neighbor, so that after having joined you in your redeeming Passion here on earth, we may also come to share in your glorious Resurrection at the end of time and love you eternally in Heaven, where you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever.
Amen.

Third Day: Proclaiming the Faith O San Pedro Calungsod, the grace of faith that God gave you was never in vain. Even as a teenager, you already shared your faith with others. You left your beloved family and homeland to serve the Mariana Mission. Despite the hard life and the cruel persecutions, you did not abandon the Mission.
O young missionary, give us a share of your zeal for the spread of the Gospel, so that even just through our daily ordinary words and actions, people may come to know and believe in our Lord Jesus Christ. Attract the young people by your example, so that they may use their talents and energies to share their Christian faith with others. Help those whom our Lord has called to the priesthood or to the religious life to be generous to God and to men by following the divine call and to remain faithful to their vocation for the propagation of the Faith. Join us now as we pray for the perseverance and success of all the missionaries of the Church.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.

Closing Prayer Almighty and ever-living God, you are glorified in your saints. Graciously hear the prayers we offer through the intercession of your holy martyr Blessed Pedro Calungsod.
Guide and protect your pilgrim Church on earth. Grant your peace to our nation and to the whole world. Fill all our families with your grace. Preserve us in love and unity. Bless and guide our young people so that they will not be led astray. Help them to grow in faith, hope and charity. Convert those whose hearts are far from you. Comfort the sick and the lonely. Protect the poor and the oppressed. Welcome into your Kingdom our departed brothers and sisters.
We thank you for the graces you have granted us through the intercession of San Pedro Calungsod. We hope that after our mortal bodies will have slept in death you will raise us up to new life on the last day as your saints and join San Pedro in praising your Name forever in heaven.
Amen.

To be the Lord's companion and his friend,
you vowed to turn away from sin.
And with your passion and your piety,
you showed us how to hope and trust in him.
With your love and faith you conquered doubt and hate.
Lead us to God's Word and bring light to the world.
Guide us all as we prepare our hearts and be your company
in mission to create God's kingdom here on Earth.
