Prayer for the Beatification of Francis II of Bourbon, King of the Two Sicilies

It was announced last week by the Archbishop of Naples, His Eminence Crescenzio Cardinal Sepe, that the opening of the beatification process for His Majesty, Francis II of Bourbon, King of the Two Sicilies, is hopefully imminent, as the Conference of Bishops of Campania asks for the nulla osta needed. We may soon have the happiness of referring to the King as ‘Servant of God.’ Please join in praying for his glorification, with the following text:

Prayer for the Beatification of Francis II 

O One and Triune God, Who casts Your glance on us from Your throne of mercy, and called Francis II of Bourbon to follow You, choosing him on earth to be king, modeling his life on the very Kingship of Jesus Christ, crucified and risen, pouring into his heart sentiments of love and patience, humility and meekness, peace and pardon, and clothing him with the virtues of faith, hope and charity, hear our petition, and help us to walk in his footsteps and to live his virtues. 


Glorify him, we pray You, on earth as we believe him to be already glorified in Heaven, and grant that, through his prayers, we may receive the graces we need. Amen.
