Prayers
St. John Bosco’s mother, Margaret Occhiena Bosco, was declared Venerable on November 15, 2006. The title “Venerable” is conferred on those whose decree of heroicity of virtues has been signed and read with the agreement of the Pope. This decree comes as the final stage in the lengthy process of a cause.
Prayer for the beatification of Mamma Margaret
God our Father,
we thank you
for making Mamma Margaret
a strong and wise woman,
a heroic mother
and a wise educator.
Give us the joy of seeing her
raised to the honours of the altars
so that all may imitate her way of holiness,
lived as daily and humble
service of her neighbour.
Through her intercession
grant us the grace
we request with a trusting heart.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
