EDITOR'S NOTE: The Marian Fathers have a request. Please join us in praying a novena to Blessed George for the complete healing of our employee here at the Marian Helpers Center, Suzanne Zavatter, who has cancer. (Read her story here.) Specifically, please pray the novena to Blessed George Matulaitis (1871-1927). Indeed, the man who saved the Marian Fathers from the brink of extinction, has proven himself a powerful intercessor for seemingly lost causes. Please bring prayers for Suzanne before him through the following novena:
At the beginning of the novena, with deepest trust in God's help, call to mind your intention for graces you need, agreeing to accept God's will.
NINTH DAY
God, King of ages, I thank You for Blessed George, who knew how to use well every moment of his life, in order to transform it into love, and to shine with its brilliance, illuminating for others the way to You. Through his intercession, I ask You, please help me to overcome the fear of death, so that, trusting in Your mercy, I may be able, in the last hour of my life, to entrust myself to Your heart, to meet You on the threshold of Your house, and come to behold Your serene face.
Blessed George, I ask you today to intercede with God for ... (here mention your personal intention).
Prayer for a special grace through the intercession of Blessed George:
O God, our Lord and Father, You surround us always by Your care; receive our humble petition, and through the intercession of Blessed Abp. George, who suffered so much for Your glory and for the increase of Your Kingdom on earth, grant me the grace ..., for which I ask You with confidence, promising to live from now on with greater fidelity to your commandments. Amen.
Our Father ... Hail, Mary ... Glory be to the Father ...
Prayer for canonization of Blessed George:
Most holy and undivided Trinity, You choose to make Your home in the hearts of Your faithful servants, and, after their death, to reward their merits with the glory of Heaven. Bring it about, we ask, that Your servant, Blessed Abp. George, who, with apostolic zeal, faithfully served the Church under the patronage of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, may be numbered among the saints. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
