Dear St. Filippo Smaldone,
in your earthly life, you were a model of charity.
Your love for those with disabilities,
especially the deaf brought you the beloved name
“Apostle of the Deaf”.
In your heavenly home, please intercede for us here on earth
that we may see Jesus in those hardest for us to love.
Take our hand and gently guide us on the surest way to salvation.
We humbly ask that you place our petitions
before the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
Amen.
