Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

O God, help me to love you with my whole heart.

Thank you for the life and holiness of your servant Irving Houle. I pray that you will honor him with the title of Saint, if it be your will. He offered his life in love and sacrifice to you for his wife and children and for the healing of others. Grant healing to all families who are wounded, and send your blessings upon my family.

When the burdens of life seem too heavy, increase my trust in you. Help me to pick up my cross each day and follow your Son as he taught us.

With confidence in your love, Lord, grant me the graces and favors for which I pray (mention your intentions).

I ask this, through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
