From the Vatican:<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pope Francis on Monday took 27 men and women a step closer to sainthood. \u00a0The Pope received Card. Angelo Amato, the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes so Saints and authorized him to promulgate 12 decrees regarding 22 men and 5 women from as many as 8 nations.\u00a0 They concern 3 miracles, a martyrdom and 8 heroic virtues.\u00a0 Nineteen candidates, including 3 miracles and the martyrdom of 16, \u00a0have been cleared for Beatification, the penultimate state before Canonization of sainthood.<\/p>\n

Among the 27 is the decree on heroic virtues of the noted \u201cRosary Priest\u201d, Servant of God Fr. Patrick Peyton <\/b>of the Congregation of Holy Cross (CSC).<\/p>\n

Born on 9 January, 1909 at Carracastle, Ireland, Fr. Peyton died on 3 June, 1992, in San Pedro, US, Fr. Peyton is the is the founder of the \u201cFamily Rosary Crusade<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0 He was the first to proclaim the phrases \u201cThe family that prays together stays together\u201d and \u201cA world at prayer is a world at peace.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can read more about Father Peyton at a website<\/strong><\/a> devoted to his cause.\u00a0 The recognition of his \u201cheroic virtues\u201d means that he will now be declared \u201cVenerable.\u201d\u00a0 The website includes this prayer for his beatification (which requires one miracle attributed to his intercession):<\/p>\n

Dear Jesus, Father Peyton devoted his priestly life to strengthening the families of the world by calling them to pray together every day, especially the Rosary. His message is as important for us now as it was during his life on earth.<\/p>\n

We beg you, therefore, to hasten the day of his beatification, so that your faithful people everywhere will remember his message that the family that prays together stays together, will imitate him in his devotion to your Mother and ours, and will be inspired by his holy life to draw ever closer to you with childlike confidence and love. Amen.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Venerable Patrick Peyton, pray for us!<\/p>\n
