Archbishop Raymond Burke on the Spiritual Legacy of Fr. John Hardon, S.J.

Prayer for the Beatification and Canonization of Father John Hardon

Almighty God, You gave Your servant,

Father John Anthony Hardon of the Society of Jesus,

the grace of consecration as a religious dedicated to the

apostolate and the grace of consecration as an ordained priest,

after the Heart of Your Divine Son, our Good Shepherd.

Through Father Hardon,

You provided for your Flock an extraordinary teacher of the faith.

You entrusted Father Hardon into the loving

care of the Blessed Virgin Mary

whose counsel, "Do whatever he tells you" (Jn 2:5)

he faithfully followed and whose intercession he unceasingly invoked.

If it be Your holy will, please grant the request I now make,

calling upon the help of Father Hardon,

so that his heroic sanctity may be recognized in the whole Church.

I ask this through Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who

with You and the Holy Spirit, is one God forever and ever.

Amen.

Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests and our Mother, help us respond generously to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests.  Amen.
