O Most Holy Trinitywe thank You for having given your priest servantFr. Stefano Gobbito the Church and to the world.  In Your Infinite Mercythrough his humble and total yesYou made him a true witness of faith in Youthe One and Triune God.

By his unconditional yesO Fatherhe was a courageous witness of Your Love.   In his clear and impassioned proclamation of the GospelO Divine Son Jesushe was a shining and true image of You for your people.  With his total abandonment to YouO Holy Spirithe became in his priestly apostolatea fruitful minister for Your Bride [the Church]a herald of Mercy and a defender of Truthalways in communion with the Pope and in obedience to the Magisterium.

In himO Godyou made true devotionfilial love and total trust in Your Holy Mother shine resplendently.   As a little apostlehe consecrated himself to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and worked for Her triumph in the worldencouraging everyone to trust in Her.  Through Maryhe showed us the sure path to the Most Holy Trinity.

For his shining example of faith and humilityand for the gifts You bestowed upon himwe ask YouO Most Holy Trinityto grant us through Fr. Gobbi’s intercessionthis grace we now request (…….); all the while wishing to remain totally abandoned to Your Will as Fr. Gobbi himself taught us.

Lordwe beseech Youthat soon the Church will advance him as an example for all Your holy people.  And youbeloved Fr. Gobbiplease continue to intercede for us.  It is by imitating you and being supported by youthat we continue on our journey towards Heaven in Jesus Christthe sure way that you have pointed out to us.  AMEN.*
