June 3 St. Charles Lwanga and Companions, Martyrs (d. 1886); St. Kevin, Abbot (d. 618); Ven. Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. (d. 1992)
St. Charles Lwanga "O God, who have made the blood of Martyrs the seed of Christians, mercifully grant that the field which is Your Church, watered by the blood shed by Saint Charles Lwanga and his companions, may be fertile and always yield You an abundant harvest"
St. Kevin "O God, who made Saint Kevin a shining light in Your Church and through him called many to the service of Your glory, grant, we pray, that, strengthened by his example and prayers, we may ever seek Your kingdom and faithfully serve You in our brothers and sisters. "
Venerable Patrick Peyton "Dear Jesus, Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to strengthening the families of the world by calling them to pray together every day, especially the Rosary. His message is as important for us now as it was during his life on earth. +We beg You, therefore, to hasten the day of his Beatification, so that Youf faithful people everywhere will remember his message that the family that prays together stays together, will imitate him in his devotion to Your Mother and ours, and will be inspired by his holy life to draw ever closer to You with childlike confidence and love."
