Anyone?

Damien is newly canonised and not on the Universal Calendar and I don’t know where to look.
 
I would be really interested in that too. Does anyone know when they go on the calendar?
 
Marty, thanks SOO much! It’s exactly what I was looking for.

I went to the Mass for Damien’s Feast earlier and I just had to have that prayer. Thanks!
 
Thanks Marty. Appreciate the reference. Will copy and put in my breviary.
 
I did not know there were formal prayers in LOTR. (Lord of the Rings). Perhaps LOTH was meant :rolleyes:

Haha! The title had me confused for a few seconds until I realized he meant LOTH.
 
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:
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.
I don’t know offhand if “liturgical texts” here includes the LOTH, but Bl. John Paul II does have LOTH propers (available online).

Is it just me or is the John Paul II prayer rather meh? The Damien one was much better.

Anyway I messaged the website promoting Mother Marianne’s cause and they were kind enough to send the text for hers to me. Here it is:

Liturgy of the Hours Celebrated in Honor of Blessed Marianne Cope
(Religious and Virgin)
Code:
 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.
READING: From a letter of Mother Marianne dated 16th January 16, 1902, sent to her nephew from C. R. Bishop Home at Kalaupapa, Molokai. (Mother Marianne Archives at St. Anthony Convent and Motherhouse, Syracuse, NY)

“On the 23rd of this month (January) is my birthday. Of these 64 years I have spent 40 years in religion. I am wondering how many more our dear sweet Lord will allow me to spend for Him. I do not think of any reward, I am working for God and do so cheerfully.

How many graces did He not shower on me, from my birth until now. Should I live a thousand years I could not in ever so small a degree thank Him for His gifts and blessings. I do not expect a high place in heaven. I shall be thankful for a little corner where I may love God for all eternity.

I daily pray with a bleeding heart for the conversion of those who have lost the way. May the good Shepherd bring them back to the fold.”

RESPONSORY: St. Matthew 25: 22-26

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me. I was ill and you comforted me.”
R. “I assure you, as often as you did it for one of my least brothers and sisters, you did it for me.”

“Then the just will ask him: Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you or see you thirsty and give you drink? When did we welcome you away from home or clothe you in your nakedness? When did we visit you when you were ill?”

R. “I assure you, etc.”

INTERCESSIONS:
  1. For all those who have placed their confidence in the intercession of Mother Marianne, may they be helped in a fruitful way, we pray to the Lord. . .
  2. For a verifiable miracle case through the intercession of Mother Marianne, we pray to the Lord. . .
  3. In gratitude for the life of Mother Marianne and her presence in our Community, we pray to the Lord. . .
CLOSING PRAYER:
O God, your son has said: What you did for the least of my people, you did for me.” Grant that moved by the example of Blessed Marianne Cope and sustained by her intercession our lives will be inspired by love for you and all those who are in need. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
 
Does anyone happen to know, when a Beatus is canonised, is the text for the prayers changed?
