For Venerable Matt Talbot’s Help in the Presence of the Lord
Gentle Matt, I turn to you in Tina’s present needs and ask for the help of your prayers. Trusting in you, I am confident your charitable and understanding heart will make her petitions your own. I believe that you are truly powerful in the presence of Divine Mercy. If it be for the glory of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the honor of Mary, our Mother and Queen, and the deepening of her relationship with them, show that your goodness towards her, in her daily struggles, equals your influence with the Holy Spirit, Who is hidden and at home in her heart. Friend of pity, friend of power, hear, oh hear me, in this hour, gentle Matt, please pray for her. Amen.
Prayer for the Canonization of Matt Talbot
Lord, in Your servant, Venerable Matt Talbot, You have given us a wonderful example of triumph over addiction, of devotion to duty, and of lifelong reverence for the Holy Sacrament. May his life of prayer and penance give us courage to take up our crosses and follow in the footsteps of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Father, if it be Your will that Your beloved servant should be glorified by Your Church, make known by Your heavenly favors the power he enjoys in Your sight. We ask this through the same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
