We now move into a section of prayers, in the Chalice of Strength, aimed at missions and missionaries.
16. Prayer for the Missions
Eternal God, Creator of all things, remember the souls of unbelievers who are the work of your hands and created in your image and likeness.
Remember that Jesus Christ your Son has suffered for their salvation a most cruel death. Do not allow that your divine Son be despised by unbelievers any longer, but that he will be appeased by the prayers of your chosen ones and of the Church, the Spouse of your Most Blessed Son, who is our health, life and resurrection, through whom we are saved and set free and to whom be given glory forever. Amen.
- St. Francis Xavier
