Prayer to the Holy Trinity for the Glorification
of the Servant of God Mother Mary Joseph Micarelli
Foundress of the Franciscan Missionary Sisters of the Infant Jesus

O Most Holy Trinity
Father, Son and Holy Spirit
Grant me the grace (express silently the grace desired).
I ask it through the Intercession of your Servant,
Mother Mary Joseph Micarelli,
Who so generously walked
on the way of evangelical charity.
May her holiness be recognized on earth,
so that Your name may be glorified
And the example of her virtue
Contribute to the coming of your Kingdom of Love.
AMEN
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be…

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred. Let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light
and where there is sadness, joy.

Grand that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to  console;
to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying
that we are born to eternal life
                             Amen. 
Prayer of Saint Francis
“I am always among you and…
I pray for you all”

Mother Mary Joseph Micarelli, Foundress
Franciscan Missionary Sisters
Of the Infant Jesus
Prayer before the Crucifix

Most High glorious God,
Bring light to the darkness of my heart.
Give me right faith,
certain hope,
and perfect love;
insight and wisdom,
so that I can always observe
your holy and true command. Amen.

San Damiano Cross
Canticle of The Creatures

Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, all honor and all blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong,
and no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.

Praised be You my Lord with all Your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
Of You Most High, he bears the likeness.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,
In the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,
And fair and stormy, all weather's moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.

Praised be You my Lord through Sister Water,
So useful, humble, precious and pure.

Praised be You my Lord through Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night
and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be You my Lord through our Sister,
Mother Earth
who sustains and governs us,
producing varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Praise be You my Lord through those who grant pardon
for love of You and bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
By You Most High, they will be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord through Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Blessed are they She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.
Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks,
And serve Him with great humility.
