Heavenly Father, in your goodness, may you grant me the graces I confidently ask for through the intercession of the Venerable Concepción Cabrera de Armida, lay woman and mystic. (Here mention your intentions.) Glorify your servant on earth so that all priests, religious and laity, inspired by her example, experience the desire to be transformed into your Son Jesus Christ, Priest and Victim.
