Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

O good and gracious God, You called Henriette Delille to give herself in service and in love to the slaves and the sick, to the orphan and the aged, to the forgotten and the despised.

Grant that inspired by her life, we might be renewed in heart and in mind. If it be Your will may she one day be raised to the honor of sainthood. By her prayers, may we live in harmony and peace, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.

Imprimatur: Most Reverend Francis B. Schulte, Archbishop of New Orleans Louisiana, August 23, 1997
