Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          Merciful Father, You guided Your servant, Gertrude Barber, to a lifetime ministry of bringing hope to children and their parents as they faced the often overwhelming challenges of living with autism and disabilities, while inspiring us to recognize all individuals as people of God.  

          We know you hear our prayers as we gather in Your name: If it is in Your design that Gertrude be glorified by the Church, so as to further her extraordinary mission, show us Your will.

          Grant us the grace to hear your answer and commit ourselves to take up her cause by the merits of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

          Amen.

Imprimatur: The Most Rev. Lawrence T. Persico, J.C.L., Bishop of Erie, December 11, 2009
