The Servant of God FRANCISCA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO

DE FUENTES

a tribute to

Prayer for Divine Guidance in theProcess of Beatification & Canonization

of the Servant of God FRANCISCA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO DE FUENTES

God, Father Almighty, in Your infinite Wisdom You have willed that Your servant Francisca del Espiritu Santo de Fuentes be the foundress of a Filipina religious congregation. She believed in You with her whole being, she hoped for the perfection of Your plan, and she loved You in imitation of Your incarnate Son. In trials and in penance she persevered, and was purified. An instrument of Your ineffable holiness, Francisca del Espiritu Santo touched so many lives and continues to edify Your Filipino people.

If it is in accord with Your plans, let the present ecclesial inquiry into the causes of her beatification and canonization lead to the triumph of Your grace. Let the recognition of her sanctity be a proof of Your guidance. Let her beatification and canonization be yet another outpouring of Your love to Your chosen people in the far east and an added blessing to the universal Church. In the power of Your Holy Spirit, who filled the heart of Francisca del Espiritu Santo, let the canonical proceedings be successfully carried out, so that at the end we all can sing: Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.

P R A Y E R

God, Our Father, You are glorified in Your Saints, for in their lives we see the crowning of Your gifts. We commend to You the life and example of the Servant of God Francisca de Espiritu Santo de Fuentes. She responded wonderfully to Your grace by a life of holiness. As a woman of the Philippines, she drew herself close to You in her service of the sick, the poor and the young. We ask by this prayer in her memory Your special help… (mention favor requested) … May her holiness be recognized by the church as an example of faithfulness for all the people of our land.

We ask this through the merits of Jesus our merciful Savior and the prayers of Mary, Queen of the Rosary, Amen.

Our Father ….. Hail Mary ….. Glory be …..

FRANCISCA DE MANILA1988

Lyrics: Msgr. Sabino Vengco, Jr.Music: Fr. Eduardo Hontiveros, SJ

Chorus:Francisca de Manila, Kapatid huwaran,Diwa ng paglilingkod sa Panginoo'y taglay;Pagtatangi sa kapwa at sa kabataan,Sa kababaihang ginising, buhay na aral.

Noong panahon ang kababaihan ng bayanTahimik na nagdurusa't walang kalayaan.Hinangad ni Francisca lakas patutulungan,Sa Diyos at pagsisikap, kanyang kabanalan.

Di tinanggap na kapuwa'y walang kakayahanTanging sa tahana't tagabigay-lugod lamang,Sa Iglesiya'y tagamasid at walang alam,'pagkat kay Francisca siya'y wangis ng Maykapal.

Musmos at kabataang hanap ay pagmamahalMurang puso't isipang uhaw sa kaligtasanNaging anak niya at kanyang pananagutanSa paarala'y hutok tatag ng sambayanan.

Mga taong hadlang at katunggali sa buhayMga oras ng dilim at unos sa daan.Kay Francisca'y bahagi ng kanyang paglalakbayNa sarili sa Panginoo'y lubos maialay.

Espiritu Santo na lagi niyang gabaySa kanyang daigdig na kabayanihan,Alinsunod sa liwanag ng Biblia SacraGaya ng Patronang Santa Catalina de Sena.

We Remember.... We Witness.. We Celebrate....
