O God, who to Blessed Julian Nakaura, a Japanese martyr,
you first gave the privilege of being the first pilgrim
arrived at the see of Pietro from those distant lands and then there
strength to give life in his native land in defense of
Christian faith, also presenting himself to his persecutors
as "he who has been to Rome": through his intercession
we ask you to always be courageous witnesses of
Your Son in our family, in our work and in
our daily life, as well as to increase love in us
and fidelity to the person and the magisterium of the Holy Father.
Amen.
A Pater, Ave and Gloria.
