Hello!
I am the profile for an individual with an interest in the Newman Society - one of Oxford's oldest student societies, dedicated to promoting Catholic faith and culture within the University of Oxford and founded in 1878.
I am largely used for corrections/updates to the entry detailing the Newman Society, but also to create and update articles concerning some of the more prominent speakers to have addressed the Society (e.g. John Saward). I am also used to periodically add new information to the entry for John Henry Newman, whose life and work inspired the Newman Society and for whose canonization it now prays.
Please feel free to address any questions or comments via my user discussion page. Pax!
Prayer to Obtain the Canonization of John Henry Newman
Eternal Father, You led John Henry Newman to follow the kindly light of Truth, and he obediently responded to your heavenly calls at any cost. As writer, preacher, counsellor and educator, as pastor, Oratorian, and servant of the poor he laboured to build up your Kingdom.
Grant that through your Vicar on Earth we may hear the words, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the company of the canonized saints.’
May you manifest your Servant’s power of intercession by even extraordinary answers to the prayers of the faithful throughout the world. We pray particularly for our intentions in his name and in the name of Jesus Christ your Son our Lord.
Amen.
Please report any favours received to: The Vice-Postulator, The Oratory, Birmingham B16 8UE, England.
