Prayer to Saint brother Artemide Zatti
Lord Jesus.
You called Artemide Zatti, Salesian Brother,
to serve you in the poor and the needy.
You gave him the strength to give himself
with joy and without rest to his sick brothers.
You made him a good man,
who knew how to live your Gospel faithfully
in daily work and in hidden sacrifice.
May the joy of seeing him shine in the heaven of your saints
help us to bear witness to your Light.
We ask through his intercession for the grace to:
(here we ask with faith what we desire).
For your glory and that of your faithful servant Artemide Zatti.
Amen.
