Prayer to Saint Louis Guanella
Prayer to Saint Luis Guanella 1
Lord Jesus, you came down to earth to bring us the love of the Father
and to be the support and comfort to the lowly and the afflicted,
we give you thanks for the gift of your faithful servant, Saint Louis Guanella,
wonderful reflection of God’s love.
May the example of his holiness shine throughout the world
for the glory of God the Father and the rescue of those in need.
Through his intercession, bestow upon us the grace we are asking for…
Grant us to be able to imitate his virtues:
his ardent devotion to the Eucharist,
his serene trust in Divine Providence,
his tender charity with the poorest,
his passionate pastoral care for your people,
so that we may receive, along with him,
the eternal joy you have prepared for us in the house of the Father. Amen.
Prayer to Saint Louis Guanella 2
O Saint Louis Guanella, apostle of charity,
who spread the treasures of your heart to the poor and suffering,
whom you dearly loved, in a world filled with hatred and selfishness,
obtain for us from Divine Providence
an ever increasing love of God and our neighbor.
Obtain for us also the favor we are now asking for...,
(ask for the grace that is needed ...)
and the grace of final perseverance.
Amen.
