PRAYER TO OBTAIN THE CANONIZATION OF BLESSED MARY ELISABETH HESSELBLAD
O Father, God of infinite goodness, I thank you enriching with the gifts of Your Spirit the Blessed Mother Mary Elisabeth Hesselblad, who consecrated her whole life to loving and adoring you, in order to do Your will in all things.
Following the example of Saint Bridget of Sweden she lived the Word of life and worked untiringly for the unity of Christians, so that all might profess, in the fullness of Catholic faith, Christ the Saviour, who desired the visible communion of those who, immersed in the waters of Baptism and signed with the seal of the Spirit of love, live in one fold under one Shepherd.
I ask you, in communion with the whole Church, to increase in me and in all Christians faith, hope and charity, so that, following the example of Mother Elisabeth, our lives may always be an expression of everlasting praise and thanksgiving to you. O God, One and Three. With humility and trust, I beg you to grant me, through the intercession of Blessed Mother Elisabeth, this grace (mention the grace one wishes to obtain) so that, for your glory and for the good of all Christians, there may soon come the day of her Canonisation, when she will be venerated by the Universal Church in the Communion of Saints.
Through Christ our Lord
Amen.
(Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory)
