Judith, is there a published prayer for Blessed Francis’s intercession?
I’ll check, BRB.
Here:
O My God, I truly believe You are present with me.
I adore Your limitless perfections.
I thank You for the graces and gifts
You gave to Blessed Francis Xavier Seelos.
If it is Your holy will, please let him be declared a saint of the Church
so that others may know and imitate his holy life.
Through his prayers please give me this favor ...

May I have the same joyful vigorthat Father Seelos possessed during his earthly life
to love You deeply and live faithfully Your gospel.
Amen.

and the strength to overcome my afflictions.
For love of You, make me whole.

and gain comfort from his patient endurance.Amen.
