Prayer for the Canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you
called your priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family
life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the
example of his life and virtue may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely,
fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church. Let the inspiration
of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring
for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify your servant Father Michael J. McGivney
on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now
present to restore the sight of our Brother Justin Benson. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory be to the Father

Vatican Approves Decree of 'Heroic Virtue'
Pope Benedict XVI declared Father Michael J. McGivney
venerable March 15, approving a decree of "Heroic Virtue" for
the parish priest who founded the Knights of Columbus. This
step significantly advances Father McGivney's cause for
sainthood.

The emblem of the Order dates from the second Supreme Council meeting
May 12,1883, when it was designed by James T. Mullen, who was then
Supreme Knight.
A quick glance at the emblem indicates a shield mounted upon the Formee
Cross. The shield is that associated with a medieval Knight. The Formee
Cross is the representation of a traditionally artistic design of the Cross of
Christ through which all graces of redemption were procurred for mankind.
This then represents the Catholic spirit of the Order.
Mounted on the shield are three objects: a fasces standing vertiically, and, crossed behind it, an anchor and a
dagger or short sword. The fasces from Roman days is symbolic of authority
which must exist in any tightly-bonded and efficiently operatting organization. The anchor is the mariner's
symbol for Columbus, patron of the Order, while the short sword or daggger was the weapon of the Knight
when engaged upon an errand of mercy. Thus, the shield expresses Catholic Knighthood in organized
merciful action, and with the letters, K. of C., it proclaims this specific form of activity.
The red, white and blue in the background of the shield and the foreground of the Cross of Malta are the
colors of our country. As such, red is the symbol of hope, of calm tranquility under God and of confidence in
the protection of our country. White is the symbol of nobility of purpose, of purity of aim and of crucible -
tried ideals to be carried out.
But there is another symbolism of color in red, white and blue. This is the ecclesiastical symbolism in which
red becomes the reflection of the drips of Christ's redemptive blood shed upon Calvary, and of the martyr's
blood shed in defense of the faith.
Red then is the symbol of Faith, of belief in Christ, in the Redemption and in the knowledge and love of
Jesus Christ. White is the color of the Eucharistic Host, pledge of God's Eucharistic presence among men, of
the infmite love God has for man and the overwhelming affection which the God-man has for each
individual. White then is the symbol of Christ-like Charity. Blue is the color of Our Lady's mantle, in which
she wrapped her beloved Son, through Whom came salvation to a sinful world. Blue is then the symbol of
Hope.
