Prayer to obtain the Canonisation of Blessed Thaddeus MacCarthy
O God, Who upon Blessed Thaddeus, Thy Confessor and Pontiff, didst bestow the glory of having borne his adversities with an unconquered fortitude, we beseech Thee, grant us after his example grace to bear our trials with patience and resignation, and, if it be Thy Holy Will that Thy Servant should be honoured by the Church, deign to manifest by heavenly favours his power with Thee. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen. Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of Divine Grace, for the glorification of thy faithful servant, Blessed Thaddeus, and for our consolation, obtain for us the special blessing of seeing him speedily numbered among the Saints. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
