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.

Fifth Day: Promoting Faith O San Pedro Calungsod, you helped pacify the warring natives in the Marianas. And when your life was in grave danger during the bitter persecution, you did not carry any weapon for protection. When you were attacked with spears, you did not retaliate even if it was easy for you to defeat your aggressors. These show your love for peace.
O instrument of God's peace, look with compassion on our hearts, on our families, on our society, on our country and on all peoples of the world where hatred and war would like to dominate. Help us to be humble and to learn to forgive. Teach us the way of peace, so that we may be worthily called children of God. Join us now as we pray for that peace which only God can give to the world.
Our Father. Hail Mary. Glory Be.

Amen.
