Prayer of the Beatification of the Servant of God Mother Mary Lange

Almighty and Eternal God, you granted Mother Mary Lange extraordinary trust in your providence.  You endowed her with humility, courage, holiness, and extraordinary sense of service to the poor and the sick.  You enabled her to found the Oblate Sisters of Providence and provide educational, social and spiritual ministry, especially to the African American community.  Mother Lange’s love for all enabled her to see Christ in each person, and the pain of prejudice and racial hatred never blurred that vision.

Design to raise her to the highest honors of the altar in order that, through her intercession, more souls may come to a deeper understanding and more fervent love of you.

Heavenly Father, glorify your heart by granting also this favor [here mention your request] which we ask through the intercession of your faithful servant Mother Mary Lange.  Amen.
