Readings
Father, full of tenderness and mercy, your son gave us Mary as mother. At his request, he gave the Laus to make it the refuge of sinners. Your servant Benoîte welcomed pilgrims and took them to the source of forgiveness and reconciliation. We pray with confidence that she would soon be beatified and thus the Laus shines a new light, it touches more hearts and always lead more sinners to Thee. At his intercession, deign to grant me the grace that I ask for your mercy to the praise of your love and your glory. – prayer for the beatification of Benoîte
