Prayer to St. Stanislaus Bostka
Most pure and mighty patron, St. Stanislaus, angel of purity and seraph of charity, I rejoice on account of thy most happy death — a death occasioned by the ardor of thy desire to contemplate Mary in her heavenly glory on the feast of her assumption. I give thanks to Mary, because she willed to accomplish thy desires; and I pray thee, gracious saint, by the merit of thy happy death, be thou my advocate, my patron in my death. Intercede with Mary to obtain for me a calm and peaceful death. Pray that my heart like thine may be inflamed with the Jove of Jesus and Mary.

We pray Thee, Who alone art good and holy, to endow with heavenly knowledge, sincere zeal, and sanctity of life, our chief bishop, N.N., the vicar of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in the government of His Church; our own bishop, N.N.; all other bishops
