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.
3
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
venerable 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.
