Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Louis Brisson, OSFS Lord Jesus, Who has told us, “Ask and you shall receive”. We address our prayer to You through the intercession of your priest, Louis Brisson. Attentive to the signs of the times and in obedience to Your Will, he founded the double family of the Oblate Sisters and the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales. Confident in your providence and joyful in hope, he knew as a good father, how to make himself all things to all people. Grant us, through the intercession, the favors which we ask of You, Especially, (Add your special intention here)…….. May Holy Church rejoice in glorifying, This priest after Your own Heart Who gave himself totally to Your Love. Amen.
