Prayer
O God, through the mediation of Mary our Mother, you granted
your priest St. Josemaría countless graces, choosing him as a
most faithful instrument to found Opus Dei, a way of sanctification
in daily work and in the fulfillment of the Christian's ordinary
duties. Grant that I too may learn to turn all the circumstances and
events of my life into occasions of loving You and serving the
Church, the Pope and all souls with joy and simplicity, lighting up
the pathways of this earth with faith and love. Deign to grant me,
through the intercession of St. Josemaría, the favor of ...
(make your request). Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to
the Father.
