PRAYER TO BLESSED JULIA

O God, Who didst will that the unconquered love of Thy holy Cross should inspire Blessed Julia to enrich Thy Church with a new family for the education of the daughters of the poor: grant, through her intercession, that steadfast endurance of suffering may obtain for us everlasting joy. Who livest and reignest one God, world without end. Amen.

ANOTHER PRAYER TO BLESSED JULIA

O WONDERFUL model of holiness. Blessed Julia, with humility and confidence we come to beg thy powerful intercession and thy continual protection. Inflame our hearts with one spark of that divine fire which entirely consumed thee with love of God and zeal for the salvation of souls: deign in thy goodness to cast on us a look of pity, and obtain for us that, despising earthly things, we may set our affections and desires only on eternal goods. Obtain for us also the forgiveness of our sins, that with pure hearts we may repeat those words so continually on thy lips: How good is the good God! "Obtain for us also patience in our trials, constancy in our good resolutions, and perseverance in grace, so that we may pass our lives in perfect conformity with the divine will, and that, overcoming the wiles of the devil, the attractions of the world, and our evil inclinations, we may merit to enjoy eternal glory with thee in heaven. Amen.
