Damien is newly canonised and not on the Universal Calendar and I don’t know where to look.

Haha! The title had me confused for a few seconds until I realized he meant LOTH.I did not know there were formal prayers in LOTR. (Lord of the Rings). Perhaps LOTH was meant![]()
I don’t know offhand if “liturgical texts” here includes the LOTH, but Bl. John Paul II does have LOTH propers (available online).In addition, while Latin and English editions of her liturgical texts were previously confirmed by the Holy See following her beatification in 2005, a Spanish translation had to be prepared for use in the United States. Those texts were approved, 215-1 with three abstentions. Bl. John Paul II’s inscription on the U.S. calendar for October 22 was approved by a vote of 216-3 with one abstention; his liturgical texts in a variety of languages were provided by the Holy See shortly before his beatification on May 1, 2011.
Is it just me or is the John Paul II prayer rather meh? The Damien one was much better.While looking for Bl. Marianne Cope’s and not having any success there, I did find a post on WDTPRS, from just after last Christmas, where Fr. Z quotes a USCCB newsletter:

Mother Marianne, formerly Barbara Koob, was born on January 23, 1838, in Germany. The following year her family emigrated to the United States where they soon became American citizens. In 1862, she entered the Sisters of St. Francis in Syracuse, New York, after having postponed her entrance nine years in order to fulfill family obligations. A born leader, she was instrumental in the founding of several schools for immigrants and in establishing two of her nation’s first fifty general hospitals. These hospitals had unique charters for their time, being open to the sick without distinction as to a person’s nationality, religion or color. In 1883 she led a group of sister-nurses to the Hawaiian Islands to establish care for the poor suffering people especially those with Hansen’s Disease (leprosy). In 1888, she took her mission to Kalaupapa, Molokai, where she set up a home for women and children with leprosy. After the death of Blessed Damien DeVeuster, she also took over the home he built for boys. She lived in exile with her charges for 30 years and died revered by all on August 9, 1918. Her beatification date was May 14, 2005. Her feast day is celebrated January 23rd.
