PRAYER FOR CANONIZATION

OF BLESSED

 TERESA OF CALCUTTA

Jesus, you made Blessed Teresa an

inspiring example of firm faith and burning

charity, an extraordinary witness to the way

of spiritual childhood, and a great and

esteemed teacher of the value and dignity of

every human life. Grant that she may be

venerated and imitated as one of the

Church's canonized saints.

Hear the requests of all those who seek her

intercession, especially the petition I now

implore...(mention here the favor you wish

to pray for).

 May we follow her example in heeding Your

cry of thirst from the Cross and joyfully

loving You in the distressing disguise of the

poorest of the poor, especially those most

unloved and unwanted.

We ask this in Your name and through the

intercession of Mary, Your Mother and the

Mother of us all. Amen.
