O Jesus, Who art pleased with simple and
humble persons, who are so often ignored, forgotten and despised by men, raise
to the glory of Thy altars Thy humble Servant Alexandrina, who always desired to
live hidden from the world and aloof from its vanities and praises.
Thou well knowest, Lord Jesus, how in our times there is need of lessons in holiness,
which is the true fulfilment of every human and Christian vocation and,
consequently, the elevation of a creature to the supreme height of moral beauty.
Invest then, o Jesus, Thy Servant with the immortal halo of glory and hear our
prayers, which we through her intercession offer to Thee; especially grant us
the favour which we ask (... here mention your petition) if it be for the
honour of Thy Blessed Name, the glory of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the
salvation of sinners, on whose behalf the pious Alexandrina so wholly and
generously offered herself as a victim. Amen.
