St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions,
Ugandans convert to Christianity,
22 Ugandan Martyrs who were killed for being Catholics,
Kabaka. Mwanga II, the Kabaka [King] of Buganda,
Mercilessly and heartlessly ordered their killing,
They were burnt to death,
Between January 31st, 1885 January 27th, 1887,
For their embracement of the Holy Gospel,
For their belief in Christ Jesus,
In the matter of Christianity and faith in God,
St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions,
Remained in the Lord,
Even in the moment of Martyrdom,
None of them ever gave up on Christ,
At Namugongo,
St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions,
Met their Martyrdoms,
For their profound faith in the Ever-Living God.
Uganda Martyrs,
St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions,
Held the Holy Gospel of Christ,
And His teaching in their hearts and minds,
True faith was shown to the Lord,
And to Christ,
St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions loved the Lord,
"The Uganda Martyrs Had Profound Faith in God and Christ Jesus"
A profound faith and loyalty,
To God and Christ Jesus Lord and Saviour,
None of them liked the immoral acts,
No one submitted to the immorality of the King.
St. Charles Lwanga and His Companions teach us to do God's will,
Teach us to have a profound faith,
Teach us to embrace the Holy Gospel of Christ,
Teach us to be loyal to the Lord God,
Teach us not to be loyal to men of the world,
The Mother Church celebrates,
The Feast Day of Uganda Martyrs,
Every 3rd June,
Their canonization by Pope Paul VI on October 18th, 1964,
Show us that we should remain in Christ,
Sainthood is feasible,
Sainthood is feasible for Christ's Faithful Believers.
St. Charles Lwanga and Your Companions,
As the Patron Saints of Converts and Torture Victims,
Remember all those Coverts to Christianity,
Remember all those Torture Victims,
May Your Feast Day,
We celebrate today Monday, June 3rd, 2024,
May we have a profound faith in God and Christ Jesus,
May we have an increment of faith and trust in the Lord.
