Spreading devotion to Saint Hannibal di Mary Francia (patron of vocations)

[Str84ward]

I came across this little known Saint, and I would like to spread devotion to him.

I was given a piece of paper with a prayer about him by a family friend, now I feel obliged to spread devotion to him.

PRAYER TO SAINT HANNIBAL

O Saint Hannibal, full of heavenly love,
during your life here on earth,
you lived faithfully according to the
interests of the Heart of Jesus.
You followed His Divine Command
to pray for holy vocations to His Church,
and dedicated your life
for the poor and the little ones.
Intercede for us that we may be blessed
with an abundance of priestly, religious,
and lay vocations in the Church.
Inflame our hearts with your love
that we may become holy
and edifying modern day disciples of Christ.
I pray to you to obtain for me from God
the necessary grace, which I ardently desire…
(Mention here your petitions)
Bless me, 0 Saint Hannibal, and my family
that we may all live together
in unity, peace, and love.
Grant, through your intercession,
the graces of which your devotees
are in great need. May all be for God’s glory
and the greater good of our souls.
Amen.

Praying with all.
