Prayer for the Beatification of Father Joseph FRAIPONT-NDAGIJIMANA God our Father, we give you thanks for the love you have shown us in Jesus Christ. We also thank you for Father Joseph FRAIPONT-NDAGIJIMANA, whom you gave us as a priceless gift. You bestowed upon him a heart filled with love, kindness, humility, and compassion; a heart that gives itself without counting the cost. He dedicated himself in an exceptional way to the poor and the disabled, teaching them the joy and hope of life. It is thanks to him that Gatagara has become “The Hill of Hope.” These very words of your Son: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends,” Father Fraipont made his own vocation, and he honored them throughout his life on this earth. All his actions were marked by the unity, faith, and love he had for you, You who never fail to keep your promises. Most Holy Father, we beseech you: may the goodness that Father Fraipont sowed among the poor and the disabled spread throughout the world and bear abundant and excellent fruit. Grant us also this peace and this unity of love, so that we may be enlightened and guided by the Holy Spirit; and that your Church may recognize that Father Joseph Ferepo-Ndagijimana is a model of one who offers his life out of love. We ask this through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Poor, to whom he entrusted his charitable work. Amen.
