Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Alphonse Marie

Heavenly Father,
You gifted Mother Alphonse Marie with the grace of being powerfully attracted to the mystery of the Cross, even in her most tender years.
In this mystery she perceived your merciful love for all your children.
You inspired her to found a Congregation to manifest that love through serving those who suffer in body or in spirit.
Through the Eucharist you gave her the strength to participate in the work of the Redemption.

May we be transformed by the love of Christ the Redeemer, even as she was; and may our lives be a witness of your great love to all those we encounter.

Hear the prayers that we present through her intercession ……………… and if it be your will, grant that we may soon venerate Blessed Alphonse Marie as a Saint throughout the Church. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
