Heavenly Father, source of all holiness,
You raise up within the Church in every age
men and women who serve with heroic love
and dedication.

You have blessed Your Church
through the life and ministry
of Your faithful servant,
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.

He has written and spoken well
of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ,
and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit
in touching the hearts of countless people.

If it be according to Your Will,
for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity
and for the salvation of souls,
we ask You to move the Church
to proclaim him a saint.

We ask this prayer
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

AMEN
