10th Anniversary of the Death of Father John A. Hardon, S.J.

Father John A. Hardon, S.J.

A big mahalo to Diane of Te Deum Laudamus for reminding us that today is the 10th Anniversary of the death of Father John Hardon. As you know, we at this blog are praying for his canonization.

Blessed Miguel A. Pro, S.J. - Priest and Martyr

Dios y Padre nuestro, que concediste a tu hijo Miguel Agustín, en su vida y en su martirio, buscar con entusiasmo tu mayor gloria y la salvación de los hombres, concédenos, a ejemplo suyo, servirte y glorificarte cumpliendo nuestras obligaciones diarias con fidelidad y alegría, y ayudando eficazmente a nuestros prójimos. Te pedimos también, Padre Santo, que, si es tu voluntad, podamos pronto venerar al Beato Miguel Agustín, como un nuevo Santo de la Iglesia.

God our Father, whom You bestowed on your son Miguel Agustín, in his life and his martyrdom, to look forward to Your greater glory and the salvation of men, grant, following his example, to serve and glorify You, by fulfilling our daily duties with fidelity and joy, and effectively helping our neighbors. We also ask you, Holy Father, that, if You will, soon we venerate the Blessed Miguel Agustin, as a new saint of the Church.
