Prayer For The Cause For Canonization

God our Father in Heaven, you lift up the lowly and meek of heart to show your great mercy and power. With fervent devotion to the Mother of God, your servant, Adele Brice, sought to instruct the ignorant in what they needed to know for salvation. In imitation of her prompt obedience and simple faithfulness, may we do our part to work for the salvation of souls and pray for the conversion of sinners.

Asking the intercession of your daughter Adele Brice, and if it be Your Will that she be honored on earth for Your glory, we humbly beseech you to hear and answer our prayer [your intention]. May we also “go and fear nothing” with confidence in your care for us and the maternal protection of the Queen of Heaven. Amen.
