Prayer 1

Great and Merciful God,

through the maternal love of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
you inspired your servant Eileen O’Connor,
to care for the sick and dying poor and to serve your Church
through spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Listen graciously to our prayers
and grant that Eileen may be raised to the glory of your altar.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Prayer 2

Holy and loving God,

we give you thanks for your faithful servant.
By your grace she united her sufferings to Christ and her prayers to Mary.
With great patience she inspired and called other women to be devoted to
the care of the sick and dying poor, both in body and in spirit.
We humbly ask that the Little Mother, Eileen, who by her ceaseless prayer
and suffering inspired others to live the Gospel, may be lifted up and counted
among your saints in heaven.
Graciously hear our prayers through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
