O God, who among the many marvels of Your Grace in the New World, did
cause to blossom on the banks of the Mohawk and of the St. Lawrence, the pure and tender Lily,
Kateri Tekakwitha, grant we beseech You, the favor we beg through her intercession; that the Young Lover
of Jesus and His Cross may soon be counted among the Saints of Holy Mother Church, and that our hearts may be enkindled
with a stronger desire to imitate her innocence and faith. Through the same Christ Our Lord. Amen.
