Bl John Henry Newman, Priest

The Congregation for Divine Worship has published the text for the Divine Office of the prospective Bl John Henry Newman, Priest of the Birmingham Oratory. More info, with the complete text in Latin and English, has been published on the site for the Holy Name of Jesus (I'm not sure of the original source). The Feast Day will be October 9th, the date when Newman was received into the Church by Bl Dominic Barbari at Littlemore in 1845.

Let us Pray:
O God, who bestowed on the Priest John Henry Newman
the grace to follow your kindly light
and find peace in your Church;
graciously grant that,
through his intercession and example,
we may be led out of shadows and images
into the fulness of your truth.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever
Amen
