God, our Father, protector of the poor and
defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Father Michael J.
McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the
generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue
may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment
of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration of
your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may
continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that
you glorify your servant Father Michael J. McGivney on earth according to the
design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now
present (here make your request). Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Our Father,
Hail Mary, Glory be.

The Knight's Prayer
Our Lady, *
Queen of the Knights, * bless all the activities of our order. * Keep us
true to our pledge * to extend the Kingship of thy Divine Son on Earth.
* Through thine intercession, * win for us the grace * ever to exemplify
in our public and private lives, * the virtues which should characterize
* those specially dedicated to the service of the heavenly court. * Make
us always aware that as your Knights we are constantly observed, * our
faith judged, * and our order appreciated. * Accept O Mary, * this
renewed pledge of fealty and devotion * of thy servants, * the Knights
of Columbus.
Amen.
