Prayer Cards
The following prayer cards are offered in support of the cause for the beatification of Eileen O’Connor. They are prayers to God, asking that Eileen, whose life of faith, suffering and selfless service continues to inspire, may one day be recognised as a saint in the Catholic Church.
Through these prayers, many seek Eileen’s intercession and give thanks for the example of her compassion and courage. We invite you to read, reflect and pray, joining others around the world who are moved by her extraordinary legacy.
Prayer for Beatification
Holy and loving God,
we give you thanks for your faithful servant Eileen O’Connor.
By your grace she united her sufferings to Christ
and her prayers to Mary.
With great patience she inspired and called
other women to be devoted to the care of the sick
and dying poor, both in body and in spirit.
We humbly ask that the Little Mother, Eileen,
who by her ceaseless prayer and suffering inspired others to live the Gospel,
may be lifted up and counted among your saints in heaven.
Graciously hear our prayers through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

and grant that Eileen may be raised to the glory of your altar.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
