The Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God,
Mother Franziska Lechner
January 1, 1833 - April 14, 1894
Let us Pray:
God, our Father, in meditating on the open heart of Jesus, you let your servant, Franziska Lechner, realize the one thing necessary in her life: Communion with you through your Beloved Son in the love of the Holy Spirit. By this deep experience of your never-ending love, you urged her to make your love visible in the world. To your greater glory, she tirelessly worked for the good of all those whom you had entrusted to her care. We sincerely hope, that you have made her worthy of your presence and beseech you: Grant us, through her intercession, help in our requests in order that we may partake in the joy of seeing her glorified also here on earth. For this we beseech you through Jesus Christ, your son, our Lord and God, who in the unity of the Holy Spirit lives and reigns with you for all eternity.
