Prayers for a friend

Prayer to S.D. Ruth Pakaluk

Patroness of Wives, Mothers, and Families

"Heavenly Father, you called your daughter, Ruth, along paths of sanctity as a wife, mother, and homemaker. She sought your face, O Lord, through an ardent apostolate of friendship, catechesis, and defense of human life. Through illness and suffering, you perfected her earnest desire to unite her suffering to the redemptive suffering of your Son. Help me, like her, in the midst of my ordinary duties, to fulfill with joy the vocation you have given me. And please grant me, inspired by her trust in your divine providence, and in the hope that she be numbered among your saints, the grace which I now implore: Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory"
