Canonization of Father Stanley Rother

[ReinnieR]

Heavenly Father, source of all holiness, in every generation You raise up men and women heroic in love and service.

You have blessed Your Church with the life of Stanley Rother priest, missionary and martyr. Through his prayer, his preaching, his presence, and his pastoral love, You revealed Your love and Your presence with us as Shepherd.

If it be Your will, may he be proclaimed by the universal Church as martyr and saint, living now in Your presence and interceding for us all.

We ask this through Christ our Lord
Amen
