Pray
"Prayer is the raising of one's mind and heart to God or the requesting of good things from God"
St. John Damascene
The most powerful prayers I can suggest to you are the prayer of intercession, where we ask for Fr. Stan’s help, and the prayer for Canonization when we pray for the Cause of Sainthood. Intercession is the method by which the Beatified Martyr Stanley Rother acts with effects here amongst us. Canonization is the process through which the official Church brings an individual to universal veneration within a nation, or the whole church as a Roman Catholic Saint. Beatified individuals are venerated regionally.
These are Catholic prayers. Feel free to make your own.
Prayer of Divine Favor
Blessed Stanley our Brother, you poured out your life in service and spilled your blood as a witness to the faithfulness of God’s love.
Those you loved so deeply and served so completely knew you to be their pastor and their priest, interceding for them as their open door to the presence of Christ.
Pray for us now and intercede on our behalf, as we ask you to walk with us on our journey through life, that the redeeming presence of Jesus might touch us now and restore us to wholeness and peace.
I ask in time of need [ state the need ] that your prayer accompany us; may the mercy of Christ, echoed in your ministry and your martyrdom, renew us and bring us the graces necessary to heal our brokenness, illuminate our darkness, and restore the losses in our lives, that we ma be, finally, one with you in praising God forever in heaven.
Through Christ our Lord
Amen
Prayer for Canonization
O God, fount of all holiness, make us each walk worthily in our vocation, through the intercession of your saints, on whom you bestowed a great variety of graces on earth. Having graced your Church with the life of your priest and martyr, Blessed Stanley Rother, grant that by his intercession this humble flock may reach where the brave Shepherd has gone.
Grant that your Church may proclaim him a saint living in your presence and interceding for us all.
Through Christ our Lord
Amen
