Novena to Bl. Miguel Pro for Rosie Grimm (’10)
Below is the latest update on Rosie Grimm (’10), from her sister Wendy Irene (‘99):
Thank you so much, everyone, for your prayers and to those who helped look for a relic of Bl. Miguel Pro. Deo gratias, a first-class relic has turned up — within driving distance! — which will arrive in a few hours. Our dear Jesuit friend will come to bless Rosie with it tonight. While Rosie’s physical condition continues to seriously deteriorate, we have already felt blessings flowing from Fr. Pro’s intercession and your prayers to him!
We want to invite you to join with us in praying a novena to Bl. Miguel Pro. We’re praying the following prayers, the first of which is by Fr. Pro. I asked Rosie what to request for her; she said, ask for a cure and for the same things Fr. Pro prayed for.
Does our life become from day to day more painful, more oppressive, more replete with afflictions? Blessed be He a thousand times who desires it so. If life be harder, love makes it also stronger, and only this love, grounded on suffering, can carry the Cross of my Lord Jesus Christ. Love without egotism, without relying on self, but enkindling in the depth of the heart an ardent thirst to love and suffer for all those around us: a thirst that neither misfortune nor contempt can extinguish ... I believe, O Lord; but strengthen my faith ... Heart of Jesus, I love Thee; but increase my love. Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee; but give greater vigor to my confidence. Heart of Jesus, I give my heart to Thee; but so enclose it in Thee that it may never be separated from Thee. Heart of Jesus, I am all Thine; but take care of my promise so that I may be able to put it in practice even unto the complete sacrifice of my life. Amen.
Blessed martyr of Christ the King, Father Miguel Agustin Pro, you are a special patron of those who labor, those in illness, depression, or despair. You are also a friend of musicians, the captives, and all who work toward social justice. Your beloved brothers, the Jesuits, revere you and count you among the ranks of their saints. You love your people of Mexico and all those loyal to the Church. I thank the Sacred Heart for loving you so dearly. I pray to Our Lady of Guadalupe whom you love so dear, to intercede for the cause of your canonization. I pray that you remember me in your eternal and well-deserved rejoicing, and also my needs: a cure for Rosie, if that’s God’s will, and that she receive all the graces of Fr. Pro’s prayer. Through your courageous life and martyrdom you have won the crown of life everlasting. Remember me, Blessed Miguel, for I remember you. Viva Cristo Rey! Viva la Virgen de Guadalupe!
