Powerful prayer to Saint Philip

Saint Philip was one of the first disciples called by Jesus, a native of Bethsaida like Peter and Andrew. It was he who, moved by the encounter with Christ, announced to Nathanael, "We have found him of whom the Law and the Prophets speak." We find him in the Gospel questioning Jesus with simplicity and a thirst for understanding, making him a model of faith in search. According to tradition, he took the Gospel as far as Asia Minor and died a martyr. We invoke Saint Philip to grow in trust, receive light in our doubts and become joyful witnesses to the Good News.
