Father Founder, We Have a Request

We know Marian Founder Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary Papczynski is a powerful intercessor.

After all, to be canonized a saint, you normally need to have two miracles officially attributed to your intercession, one for your beatification and one for your canonization. And there are no small-time, totally subjective, "well, it felt like a miracle to me!" occurrences allowed. No - these have to be miracles that scientists can examine and declare scientifically inexplicable. Father Founder's first miracle was the "restoration to life" of a child in the womb, declared by doctors to be medically inexplicable. His second miracle was the complete healing of a woman's lungs after her doctors had declared her condition to be irreversible and terminal.

When Blessed Stanislaus gets praying, the effects resonate in Heaven and on earth.

So keeping all that in mind, we have a proposition for you. Let's ask for some powerful intercession.

Let's start asking Stanislaus Papczynski to pray for the success of the petition drive we launched last fall that asks for the Holy Father to make St. Faustina the next Doctor of the Church.

Now, since Father Founder's Congregation of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception have been leading promoters of the Divine Mercy message and devotion since 1941, that shouldn't be too much to ask. After all, he is to be canonized right in the middle of the extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy, a little less than two months before the Holy Father goes to meet many of the Catholic young people of the world in Krakow, Poland, home city of St. Faustina Kowalska, the "Secretary of God's Mercy," and St. John Paul II, the Great Mercy Pope.

So let's ask Father Founder to help spread the Divine Mercy message and devotion to the ends of the earth. Let us pray:

O God, Your providence has set the canonization of Marian Founder Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary Papczynski in the Jubilee Year of Mercy. We thank you for that tremendous blessing, and we ask that, through Fr. Stanislaus' intercession, St. Maria Faustina of the Most Blessed Sacrament may swiftly be declared a Doctor of the Church in order to better spread the good news of Your Divine Mercy to the ends of the earth. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, the Divine Mercy Incarnate. Amen.
