PRAYER FOR THE CANONIZATIONOF BLESSED KATERI TEKAWITHA

O God, who, among the many marvels of Your Grace in the New World,

did cause to blossom on the banks of the Mohawk

and of the St. Lawrence,

the pure and tender Lily, Kateri Tekakwitha,

grant we beseech You,

the favor we beg through her intercession,

that this Young Lover of Jesus and of His Cross

may soon be counted among the Saints of Holy Mother Church,

and that our hearts may be enkindled

with a stronger desire to imitate her innocence and faith.

Through the same Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha,

pray for us.
