Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          Almighty God, You gave Your servant, Father John Anthony Hardon of the Society of Jesus, the grace of religious and priestly consecration after the Heart of Your Divine Son, our Good Shepherd.

          Through Father Hardon, You provided for your Flock an extraordinary teacher of the faith. You entrusted Father Hardon into the loving care of the Blessed Virgin Mary whose counsel, “Do whatever he tells you” (Jn 2:5) he faithfully followed and whose intercession he unceasingly invoked.  

          If it be Your holy will, please grant the request I now make, calling upon the help of Father Hardon, so that his heroic sanctity may be recognized in the whole Church.  

          I ask this through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with You and the Holy Spirit, is one God forever and ever.  

          Amen.
