Prayer to Canonization and Intercession of Mother Theresa

Prayer to Canonization and Intercession of Mother Theresa

Jesus, you made Blessed Theresa and inspiring example

of firm faith and burning charity, an extraordinary witness

to the way of spiritual childhood, and a great and esteemed teacher

of the value and dignity of every human life.

Grand that she may be venerated and imitated 

as one of the Church's canonized saints.

Hear the requests of all those who seek her intercession,

especially the petition I now implore...

(mention here the favor you wish to pray for).

May we follow her example in heeding Your cry of thirst from the Cross

and joyfully loving You in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor,

especially those most unloved and unwanted.

We may ask this in Your name and through the intercession of Mary,

Your Mother and the Mother of us all.

Amen
