Prayer for Beatification or Canonization or intercession

Heavenly Father, you inflamed the compassionate heart of Mother Mary Theresa with the heroic virtues of charity and mercy.

If it is your will, may she be declared Blessed for your honor and glory and may she inspire others to imitate her love for the needy, poor and suffering of our world.

This we ask through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
