"God has a special purpose, a special love, a special providence to all those He has created, [and that, therefore,] every moment of our life has a purpose, that every action of ours, no matter how dull or routine or trivial it may seem in itself, has a dignity and a worth beyond human understanding."

Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          We adore You, Most Holy Trinity, and we thank You for the exemplary life of Your Servant, Father Walter Ciszek. We pray that his strong faith in Your loving providence, his great love for You, and his kindness to all people be recognized by the Church.

          If it be Your Will, may he be given to us as a saintly model of these virtues so that we too may be better motivated to dedicate our lives to Your greater honor and glory. We commend our petition through the prayers of the Holy Mother of God.

          For to You, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, is due all glory, honor and worship, now and forever.

          Amen.
