Prayer for the Canonization of the Servant of God
Father Henry Caffarel
God, Our You planted deep in the heart of your servant, Henri Caffarel, a fountain of love which bound him totally to your Son and inspired him with a wonderful capacity to speak of Him.
A prophet for our time, he revealed the dignity and beauty of the vocation of every person in the words Jesus addresses to each of us: “Come follow me”.
He made couples enthusiastic about the greatness of the Sacrament of Marriage, the sign of Christ’s fruitful love for the Church and His union with her.
He showed that priests and couples are called to live a vocation of love.He was a guide to widows: love is stronger than death. Prompted by the Holy Spirit, he accompanied many Christians on the path of prayer. Seized by a devouring fire, he was a dwelling place for you, Lord.
God, our Father, Through the intercession of Our Lady,
we ask you to hasten the day when the Church will proclaim the holiness of his life, so that people everywhere will discover the joy of following Your Son in accordance with their particular vocations in the Holy Spirit.
