Prayer of Sister Mary Glowrey
Help me to die utterly to myself to empty myself
entirely of self and You Yourself come and take
entire possession of this unprepossessing shell,
that is me ⁃ so that by Your Grace,
while being tossed about in the Waves of life – this oyster may be
transformed by You and become a Pearl, that is – You are me
dear Jesus.
-Amen
Prayer for the Cause of Dr. Sr. Mary Glowrey
Consecrated Woman, Missionary, Doctor of Medicine.
Heavenly Father,
In the person of Dr. Mary Glowrey,
we encounter a woman deeply surrendered to Your will,
and to the reality of Your love for her,
and for every human person Blessed by you with a brilliant mind,
yet profoundly aware,
that all she had was Your gift to her,
You led Mary to place herself completely at the service of human life through the practice of medicine.
You consecrated her to Yourself in religious life,
and through her years of medical service in India,
especially to women and to those most in need.
May we be led to encounter You in our own lives and,
like Mary Glowrey,
discover in this encounter the confidence and trust to surrender our lives completely into Your hands.
If it be Your will, may Dr Mary Glowrey’s life of holiness be acknowledged by the church,
so that through her,
we may continue to be led more deeply into the mystery of Your love made flesh in the person of Jesus.
-Amen.

Dear Sr. Mary, during your life on earth,
you as a missionary in South India were zealous in spreading God’s Kingdom.
You spent yourself to the utmost for suffering humanity,
by curing the sick and bringing consolation to the afflicted.
I come to you with great confidence to ask your intercession for this intention.
Ifit is God’s Holy will and may serve to give Him ever more honour and glory.
If it is not according to God’s Holy will,
obtain for uS the grace to submit as you did by bearing your sufferings heroically.
Dear Sr. Mary, pray for us to God and obtain for us your apostolic zeal to spread God’s Kingdom in self-forgetting charity.
-Amen
