Prayer for a special grace Saint Stanislaus, gracious intercessor before God, defender of the oppressed and patron of those in mortal danger, you always zealously served Jesus and His Immaculate Mother for the salva- tion of immortal souls, and you took pity on everymisery. Trusting in your intercession, I have recourse to you, and I ask that you do not deny me your help. By your earnest prayers, obtain for me fromGod the grace … for which I beg youwith trust, and helpme, all my life long, to fulfill the will of the Heavenly Father. Amen. Our Father … Hail Mary … Glory be to the Father … Prayer through st. stanislaus’ intercession O God, in your providence, you have called your priest, St. Stanislaus, to make known the honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary and to assist the souls in Purgatory. Following the example of his apostolic life, grant, we pray, that we may also proclaim the fullness of innocence and sanctity of the Mother of your Son, and invoking your mercy for the departed, may we safely arrive at our true home- land. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen. S AINT S TANISLAUS P APCZYNSKI 200
