Dear St. Sebastian,
We turn to you in prayer, seeking your intercession and guidance. You are known as the patron saint of soldiers and athletes, and we ask for your help in facing the battles and challenges of our lives.
We ask for your protection and guidance as we strive to live virtuous lives, following the example you set as a Christian martyr. We ask for your intercession in helping us to overcome obstacles and temptations, and for the strength to persevere in the face of adversity.
We also ask for your blessings on those who serve in the military and those who compete in sports, that they may be guided by a strong sense of honor and integrity. We pray for the safety and well-being of all soldiers and athletes, and for the grace to use their talents and abilities for the glory of God.
We give you thanks for your life of faith and sacrifice, and for the inspiration you continue to be to us. We ask that you continue to watch over us, and lead us to the eternal love and joy of heaven.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
