Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          Almighty and merciful God, You filled the heart of your priest, Servant of God Jean Marie Biler, with piety, generosity, zeal for the salvation of all souls and a capacity to see the face of Christ in his neighbor, especially in the sick, the orphaned and the poor.  

          Inspired and sustained by charity, this tireless shepherd did not desert his flock, but made the free and willing offering of his life for the salvation of his fellow man, regardless of creed, ethnicity or status, during virulent epidemic, affording them hope of eternal life.

          Bestow upon me the grace to selflessly love my neighbor and fully trust in Your providential love, as did this martyr to his charity.

          If it be Your will, O God, glorify our beloved Servant of God by granting the favor I now request (mention your request), so that, we pray, all may know of his heroic virtue and holiness and may imitate his love for You and Your Church. Through Christ our Lord.

          Amen.

          (Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be)
