for us
Father of Bethany, you
who have renounced life in a heroic act of love of God, teach us to renounce
all that is not God.
You, who have responded
to the call of St. Dominic in becoming a brother preacher, make of us true
Dominicans in spirit and truth.
Faithful and obedient
Religious even in contradictions, teach us perfect consecration to God.
You, who in kissing the
relic of St. Mary Magdalene, have understood that from sinners God can make the
greatest saints, show us the immensity of redemptive love.
Apostle of the lost
sheep in Cadillac, you knew how to awaken hope against all hope. Give us the
aptitude to transmit your message to all victims of any form of imprisonment.
You, who received the
inspiration for Bethany in a prison chapel, teach us to let all our chains
fall, so that we may be free as children of God.

You, who
wanted to unite faithfulness and repentance in one and the same love as Mary
and Martha in Bethany, help us to love one another like sisters and like
saints.
Adorer of
the Blessed Sacrament day and night, and who wanted make shine in Bethany the
Sun of justice, “because healing happens in these rays”, teach us to be these
adorers who search for the Father to give him praise.
You the
founder, full of goodness, in the humble home of Bethany, help us to understand
that goodness is what resembles God the most.
You who
offered his life so that St. Joseph would be proclaimed patron of the universal
Church, put in our hearts zeal and love for the Church.
You, who
died young and consumed with love in mystical union with your God, come and
receive us at the threshold of the kingdom as you have promised.
You, who are
the source for Bethany and the persons living your spirit, remain for all the
living witness of hope in the mercy of God.
