Prayer for the Canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be anapostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of hislife and virtue may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building uphis Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that wemay continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your servantFather Michael J McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will Through his intercession grant the favor
Mary’s Dream ~~ Author UnknownI had a dream Joseph. I do not understand it, not really, but I think it was about a
birthday celebration for our Son. I think that was what it was all about.
The people had been preparing for it for about six weeks. They had decorated thehouse and bought new gifts. It was peculiar, though, because the presents weren’t for ourSon. They wrapped them in beautiful paper and tied them with lovely bows and stackedthem under a tree. Yes, a tree, Joseph, right in their house.
They decorated the tree, also. The branches were full of glowing balls and sparkliornaments. There was a figure on the top of the tree. It looked like an angel might look. Oit was beautiful. Everyone was laughing and happy. They were all excited about the gifts.
They gave the gifts to each other, Joseph, not to our Son. I don’t think they evenknew Him. They never mentioned His name. Doesn’t it seem odd for people to go to all thtrouble to celebrate someone’s birthday if they don’t know Him? I had the strangest feelingthat if our Son had gone to this celebration, He would have been intruding.
Everything was so beautiful, Joseph, and everyone so full of cheer, but it made mewant to cry. How sad for Jesus . . . not to be wanted at His own birthday celebration.
I’m glad it was only a dream. How terrible, Joseph, if it had been real.
