Lest You Remain

O Lord Jesus, You gave us in Your Servant Stanislaus an example of devotion to the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Give us by his example the grace to imitate her virtues. We ask You, hear us, O Lord. O Holy Spirit, You are the inspiration of the Church’s shepherds. Teach us, by the example of Your Servant Stanislaus, to be zealous in supporting them as they announce the Gospel to all the nations. We ask You, hear us, O Lord. O Lord, Just Judge, You filled the heart of Your Servant Stanislaus with love for the suffering souls in Purgatory. Give us a zeal to remember the departed by our prayer, penitence, and sacrifice. We ask You, hear us, O Lord. Most holy and undivided Trinity, You choose to live in the hearts of Your faith- ful servants, and after their death to reward their merits with the glory of heaven. Grant, we implore You, that Your Servant Stanislaus, who with apostolic zeal faith- fully served the Church under the patronage of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, may be numbered among the Blessed, through Christ our Lord. Amen. Closing Prayer Prayer for the Congregation, according to Bl. George Matulewicz Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior, graciously look upon this Congregation found- ed in your Name and in the name of your Immaculate Mother. Gaze upon, visit, and perfect that which your right hand engrafted. Multiply its company and augment its joys. Gather us from all tribes, peoples, and nations. This in your house, O Lord Jesus, your house. Let no stone be found in it, which your sacred Hand would not have placed therein. Preserve and sanctify us, whom You have called, that we may praise your holy Name, accomplish your works, and courageously wage your bat- tles. You who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
