Prayer to Blessed Father Federic  for Vocations to the OFS
 
Lord You have called on Bl. Fr. Frederic Janssoone to help us, through Mary, to follow the path of your son. Obtain for us through Fr. Frederic's example a deeper faith, hope and charity,
aiding us in bringing more of the faithful
into the fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order. Grant us, by his intercession and according to Your will, the graces we implore, hoping that Blessed Fr. Frederic will soon be numbered among Your Saints. Amen.
  
Glory be to the father.. (three times).
And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly. Luke 22:42-44
