Prayer for the Beatification of Bishop William Giaquinta

O loving God, Father of all goodness
Christ our Redeemer, Spirit of Holiness,
in your infinite and untiring love for us
you never fail to invite us to holiness.

We thank you because in your servant, William Giaquinta,
you have made your gifts shine forth.
He contemplated the infinite love of your Son
and he was a tireless apostle of the Universal Call to Holiness.

We pray to you, if it is your will, to manifest in him your glory and by his intercession to grant us the grace that we ask of you:

The beatification of your servant, Bishop William Giaquinta,
the spread of the Universal Call to Holiness and the Pro Sanctity Movement.
(Pause for your own personal intentions.)
Amen.
