Prayer for the Intercession of Fulton Sheen
Eternal Father, You alone grant every blessing, through Your Divine Son, Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit. You used the life and work of Your servant, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, as Your holy instrument. He inspired vast numbers of Catholics and others of good will to grow in virtue, lead lives pleasing to You, and humbly serve their brothers and sisters in need. If it be according to Your Will, Eternal Father, glorify Your servant, Archbishop Fulton Sheen, by granting the favor I now request through his prayerful intercession (mention your request). I offer this prayer confidently in Jesus’ name. Amen.
From the Catholic Company
