Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          God our Creator, Your servant Dorothy Day exemplified the Catholic faith by her conversion, life of prayer and voluntary poverty, works of mercy, and witness to the justice and peace of the Gospel. May her life inspire people to turn to Christ as their savior and guide, to see his face in the world’s poor and to raise their voices for the justice of God’s kingdom.

          We pray that you grant the favors we ask through her intercession so that her goodness and holiness may be more widely recognized and one day the Church may proclaim her Saint.

          We ask this through Christ our Lord.

          Amen.
