Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          O God, who chose Cornelia Connelly to found the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, inspiring her to follow the path marked out by your divine son, obedient from the crib to the cross, let us share her faith, her obedience and her unconditional trust in the power of your love.  

          Grant us the favor we now implore through her intercession (state your intention) and be pleased to glorify, even on earth, your faithful servant, through the same Christ our Lord.  

          Amen.
