Lord God, you chose Blessed Francisco Palau to proclaim to the whole world the mystery of the Church.

He spent his life in spreading the Gospel among his brothers and sisters and in fostering among them a vivid awareness of their membership in the Mystical Body of Christ. Grant, O Lord, that the honor which your Church confers on him may help to make all men and women one in God's People.

And through his intercession give us the special grace which we now ask.

Amen.
