Heavenly Father, source of all holiness, You raise up within the Church in every age sons and daughters who serve you and your people with heroic love and dedication. You have blessed Your Church through the life and ministry of Your faithful servant, Fr. Eusebio Francisco Kino, S.J. He has taught and preached well of Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, and was a true instrument of the Holy Spirit in touching the hearts of countless people through his missionary ministry in the New World. As he joyfully accepted Your divine plans, I ask You, according to Your Will, to hear my prayer for (your intention) offered through the intercession of Fr. Kino through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
If it be according to Your Will, for the honor and glory of the Most Holy Trinity and for the salvation of souls, we ask You to move the Church to proclaim Fr. Kino a saint. We ask this prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory Be
