PRAYER FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF THE SERVANT OF GOD

BISHOP ALFREDO FLORENTIN VERZOSA

Lord, our God, through the Most Sacred

Heart of Your Son,

we thank You for having given us

Your faithful shepherd,

BISHOP ALFREDO VERZOSA.

His life is an exemplary model of humility,

obedience and patient endurance in suffering.

He revealed to us Your compassion for the multitude

by his example of love for the poor and the needy.

Grant us, through his intercession,

the grace we ask of You.

(Mention your particular petition or favor)

And if it is Your divine will,

may his sanctity be lifted up to the altar so that in him

more people will be drawn to You.

We ask this through Mary

our Mother in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

With ecclesiastical approval for private use only
