Prayer for the Beatification

God Our Father, we thank You for having given Élise Bisschop a joy and a communicative confidence, an apostolic ardor with children and young people, a compassionate heart for the poor and the desire, from her childhood, to “smile to all out of love for Jesus” despite illness and suffering.

Grant us the grace to see one day Élise, completely dedicated to You, beatified as an example of celibate life, as well as loving and reassuring light on the path of those who are poor in spirit. Amen.
