Prayer through the intercession of Bl. Fr. Ignatius Kłopotowski
O God, who breathed into the heart
of blessed Ignatius a great love of the
Incarnate Word and His Virgin Mother,
awakening in him the desire to
build Your kingdom through zealous
imitation of Christ's love for the
poor and neglected, and made him
an apostle of the press and catholic
publishing - look upon our humble
plea and grant through his intercession
that we might give ourselves
completely and with joy to the work
of the world's salvation.
Eternal Father, infinitely good,
through the powerful intercession of
blessed Ignatius, grant me assistance
in the needs, which I entrust to You
this day. Through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
