Ugandan Martyrs Prayer
O God, by whose providence
the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church:
Grant that we who remember before you
the blessed martyrs of Uganda,
may, like them, be steadfast in our faith in Jesus Christ,
to whom they gave obedience even unto death,
and by their sacrifice brought forth a plentiful harvest;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
ever one God, world without end, Amen.
