Remembering Pope John Paul II


Prayer for the Canonization of
Father Michael J. McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the
widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an
apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service
of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue may we follow your
Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and
building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant
prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of
caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your
servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy
will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present.
(here make your request)
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
