A Prayer for the Beatification of the Servant of God József, Cardinal Mindszenty

Heavenly Father, You willingly accept the sacrifice of your faithful, which they offer you united to Christ's sacrifice in order to complete "what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the Church" (Col 1:24). We ask you to accept the humiliations and sacrifices of your servant József Cardinal Mindszenty, which he, in his life, offered for the Hungarian Church and nation.
May his sufferings continue to be an acceptable sacrifice for the Church and Hungary.
United to him, we offer our prayers and sacrifices for the spiritual renewal of the Hungarian nation.
If you so will, grant your faithful Hungarian people to honour your servant József, Cardinal Mindszenty among the saints of our Church.
Through Christ, Our Lord.

Amen.
