Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

         Lord, Our God, that inspired and instilled in your servant Maestro Rafael, a Puerto Rican layman, an ardent desire for the holistic education of children and a luminous charity for the lowly, the poor and those in despair. Show me the path so that I may also learn to respond with generosity and service to the needs of those around me.

         Hear my prayer and if it is your wish, please grant me the following petition (mention here) so that your servant Maestro Rafael may be elevated to the Altars.

         Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be.
