Our precious eleven year old daughter, Cristina Hernandez, was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis when she was just six months old. She now has three tumors in her brain and an eminent possibility of more.

Cristina and our entire family need your prayers more than anything else. We'd like to specifically request that you pray and ask God for the grace and gift of complete healing through the intercessory prayer of Blessed Mother Teresa.

 

Many of you are familiar with Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta. Why are so many people in such awe of her life? She followed the example set by our Savior, and she invited Him to work through her. She remained focused on her love for Jesus and thus, gave no thought to society's evaluation of her.

The Vatican has approved one miracle obtained through Mother Teresa's intercession. Mother Teresa was beatified on October 19, 2003 and needs only one more miracle for her cause of canonization. With this in mind we would ask that you pray for Cristina's healing through the intercession of Blessed Mother Teresa.

Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Mother Teresa

Jesus, you made Blessed Teresa an inspiring example of firm faith and burning charity, an extraordinary witness to the way of spiritual childhood, and a great and esteemed teacher of the value and dignity of every human life. Grant that she may be venerated and imitated as one of the Church's canonized saints.

Hear the requests of all those who seek her intercession, especially the petition I now implore... (mention here the favor or favor you wish to pray for).

May we follow her example in heeding Your cry of thirst from the Cross and joyfully loving You in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor, especially those most unloved and unwanted.

We ask this in Your name and through the intercession of Mary, Your Mother and the Mother of us all. Amen.
