PRAYER FOR INTERCESSION

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 Mother Francisca del 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...

PRAYER FOR DIVINE GUIDANCEFOR THE CAUSES OF BEATIFICATION & CANONIZATION

OF VENERABLE FRANCISCA DEL ESPIRITU SANTO DE FUENTES

Lord God, our Father, You fill us with joy and gratitude by Your gift to us of the person of Francisca del Espiritu Santo de Fuentes. Let the narrative of her life and the fame of her sanctity find approval among the ministers of the Church. Let the miracle, we beseech You, manifest the bond of intercession before Your heavenly throne. We beg You, Father, with the help of Mary, Our Queen of the Holy Rosary, finally bless Your Filipino people with the sainthood of Your faithful servant Francisca. Amen.

FRANCISCA DE MANILA (1988) Lyrics: Msgr. Sabino Vengco, Jr. / Music: Fr. Eduardo Hontiveros, SJ

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

Noong Panahong ang kababaihan ng bayanTahimik na nagdurusa't walang kalayaan, Hinangad ni Francisca lakas, pagtutulungan, Sa Diyos at pagsisikap, kanyang kabanalan. Di natanggap na kapuwa'y walang kakayahan Tanging sa tahana't tagabigay lugod lamang. Sa Iglesia'y tagamasid at walang alam,'pagkat kay Francisca sya'y wangis ng Maykapal.

Musmos at kabataang hanap ay pagmamahal Murang puso’t isipang uhaw sa kaligtasan,Naging anak niya at kanyang pananagutanSa paarala’y hutok tatag ng sambayanan.

Mga taong hadlang at katunggali sa buhay,Mga oras ng dilim at unos sa daan,Kay Francisca’y bahagi ng kanyang paglalakbayNa sarili sa Panginoo’y lubos maialay. Espiritu Santo naging lagi niyang gabaySa kanyang daigdig ng kabayanihan,Alinsunod sa liwanag ng Biblia Sacra,Gaya ng Patronang Santa Catalina de Sena.
