Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

          O Lord, for the greater glory of God and the Salvation of Souls, You inspired the Spanish Jesuits, Father Juan Bautista de Segura and his companions to bring the Word of God to the peoples of Virginia, and to lay down their lives in Martyrdom.  

          Through their intercession bring all people to the unity of the Gospel, and grant me the favor I implore (state your intention) and permit the beatification of the Martyrs of Virginia.  

          I ask this through Christ Our Lord.

          Amen.

Imprimatur:  Walter F. Sullivan, Bishop of Richmond
