Grant, O Lord, that none
may love Thee less this day
because of me.
That never a word or act of mine
may turn one soul from Thee;
and, ever daring, yet one more
grace I would implore,
that many souls this day,
because of me,
may love Thee more.
Amen.

    Prayer to Obtain Graces by God’s Servant’s Intercession
    God, who created man in your image and intended him to share your glory,
    We thank you for having granted to your Church the gift of professor Jerome Lejeune, a distinguished servant of life. He knew how to place his immense intelligence and deep faith at the service of the defense of human life, especially unborn life, always seeking to treat and to cure. A passionate witness to truth and charity, he knew how to reconcile faith and reason in the sight of today’s world.
    By his intercession, and according to your will, we ask you to grant us the graces we implore, hoping that he will soon become one of your saints.
    Amen.

    As the cause for canonization of Lejeune moves forward, testimonies of medically inexplicable cures sought by his intercession will be recorded, and holy cards with this prayer are available at this address:
    Postulation de la cause de béatification
    et de canonisation du Serviteur de Dieu Jérôme Lejeune
    Abbaye Saint-Wandrille F-76490
    Saint-Wandrille, France.
