Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you the graces given to your Servant of God Father Edward J Flanagan, who dedicated his life to bring your Fatherly love to all children, especially those You placed in his care. May we emulate the heroic virtue of Servant of God Father Flanagan, who trusted in Your Divine Providence and gain in his intercession with the need placed before you.
We ask you Lord God to raise your Servant of God Father Flanagan to sainthood in Your Holy Church, that You may be glorified in the work he began and in the work that continues throughout the world in all those who lovingly care for Your precious little ones.
We pray in the Name of Your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord and Saviour. Amen
