Cause for the Beatification of Venerable Catherine McAuley

All merciful Father, your Holy Spirit, breathing in the heart of your servant, Venerable Catherine, made her alive with love for the poor, thus revealing in her life the ever-present, self-giving Christ. Grant through her intercession, those favors which will confirm her holiness with the honors of the altar, in particular we request through the intercession of Venerable Catherine (indicate your prayer request) so that through her life, ours might be forever brightened by that Light which is Jesus Christ, Your Son our Lord. Amen.

Any person receiving a miracle or favor through the intercession of Venerable Catherine is asked to contact Sister Yvonne Mary Loucks, R.S.M., Piazza della Citta Leonina 1, 00193 Roma, Italia.
