Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

         O Glorious Most High God, who deign to glorify in Heaven the souls of those who served and glorified you on Earth, hear our prayers (petitions in silence), and according to the design of Your Divine Providence, deign to glorify your Servant Friar Martin Maria, who by his love desired to offer his life for the education and service of the youth, the poor and the sick, that like our ’compadre’ we too may progress in the service of the most needy.

         Amen!
