PRAYER
“Prayer is the best weapon we possess. It is the key that opens the heart of God.”
— St. Padre Pio
In the Roman Catholic tradition, the incense used during Mass represents the prayers of the faithful rising up to Heaven (see Rev. 5:7).
Prayers & Gratitude
Pray for Us
The Cathedral offers its gratitude to these people who have committed to pray for the development of the pilgrimage and for the pilgrims. We also thank all the prayer partners who are not yet known to us! Every prayer makes a real difference.

Guardian Angel Prayer
Bless the Lord, All You His Angels, You who are Mighty in strength and do His will.
Intercede for me at the throne of God, and by your unceasing watchfulness protect me in every danger of soul and body.
Obtain for me the grace of final perseverance, so that after this life I may be admitted to your glorious company and may sing with you the praises of God for all eternity.
O all you holy Angels and Archangels, Thrones and Dominations, Principalities and Powers and Virtues of Heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim and especially you, My dear Guardian Angel, intercede for me and obtain for me the special favor I now ask: (State your intention here).
