HCFM Canada – Inspire, Promote and Foster the Spiritual well-being of families in Canada

PRAYER FOR THE BEATIFICATION OF VENERABLE PATRICK PEYTON

“Dear Jesus, Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to strengthening the families of the world by calling them to pray together every day, specially the Rosary. His message is as important for us now as it was during his life on earth. We beg you, therefore, to hasten the day of his beatification so that your faithful people everywhere will remember his message that The Family That Prays Together Stays Together, will imitate him in his devotion to your Mother and ours, and will be inspired by his holy life to draw ever closer to you with childlike confidence and love. Amen.”

Venerable Patrick Peyton

1909-1992

Pray With Us

2. The Ascension of Our Lord:

Jesus led the disciples out as far as Bethany and lifting up his hand , he blessed them and was carried up into heaven.
(Lk 24:44-53)

There appeared to them tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.
(Acts 2:3-4)

4.The Assumption of Our Lady into Heaven:

“Finally the Immaculate Virgin,
preserved free from all stain of
original sin, when the course of her earthly life was finished, was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory.”

“We believe that the Holy Mother of God, the new Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven to exercise her maternal role on behalf of
the members of Christ.”
