OCTOBER 17 BLESSED CONTARDO FERRINI. Prayer to be recited today

Lord Jesus, so that Your Kingdom may extend more and more on wits and wanderers are brought back after so much deviation, to recognize that in you are all the treasures of science and wisdom, and that the Church is the merciful dispenser of these gifts, we we ask you to glorify the Venerable Contardo Ferrini by obtaining that his name be entered in the Register of the Blessed. Thus men of goodwill will learn even better how humility of spirit and purity of heart are indispensable conditions for achieving eternal life. O Jesus Our Lord, we beg you, deign to glorify your servant if this is for your glory and for the good of souls and allow him to come to our aid by obtaining the graces that we ask of you through his intercession.

So be it. Pater, Ave, Gloria.
