Cyprien and Daphrose, Pray for Us!

Holy Father,
We pray for the beatification of the Servants of God, Cyprien and Daphrose.
Let us always have, like them, a ceaseless zeal for Adoration, a heart burning with love for you and an active compassion for all who suffer.
Help us to give of ourselves, without counting the cost, in the service of evangelization of families and of the poor.

In communion with Cyprien and Daphrose, we especially entrust to you couples who experience marital difficulties and those who struggle to forgive their enemies and we ask you to make of us instruments of peace.
Through the intercession of the Servants of God,
we dare to ask you, if it is Your will,
the grace of … (a prayer is expressed)
Lord, grant us the peace and the grace that we ask for in faith.

Amen.
