God, all-powerful Father,
Lord of heaven and earth,
source of our life and of our apostolic
and missionary commitment,
we pray:
grant our Congregation
and all her associates
the grace of the Beatification
of Father Mariano Avellana
whose life was so nobly spent
at the service of the Gospel.
Through his intercession,
we ask you to accompany us in our journey of faith
and to support us in our human infirmities
giving us, if it is your will, this grace
for which we humbly pray
in order to live consistently the mission
that you have entrusted to us
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
