Lord our God, we thank You for Your servant, the priest Franz Stock Thou hast called to reconcile two peoples separated by the hostilities of the war.
As an apostle of mercy and Thy messenger of peace, he brought to those in misery and despair, consolation and light in the darkness of hatred and violence.
By vocation herald of hope and his testimony of his humanity, Franz Stock was a tireless architect of reconciliation between the French and Germans.
Lord, we pray trustingly:
Let the example of his life will always remain alive in the consciousness of our two peoples so that we can contribute to peace and unity of Europe.
Accompany us and the leaders of our Church in all their efforts to raise your servant Franz Stock as an apostle messenger of mercy and of Thy peace to the glory of the altars, so that the light of his testimony of faith shine among us and can become a source of strength for many men.
We pray for our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, our brother, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit in all ages. Amen.

The beatification of a person means for the Catholic Church that this person has led a life in the faith, considered exemplary, and she followed Christ in a particular way. For this reason, it can be venerated by the Church of a country, a diocese or a particular community.
The beatification of a male or woman may be followed by canonization. Therefore, that person will be officially revered around the world.
Beatification a person has the great merit that he believes are the faithful.
The beatification process is preceded by an ecclesiastical investigation, instituted by the bishop of a diocese.
During the process of beatification, he returned to the diocese of the parish of a person to gather information on his life and death. Must prove either a miracle or martyrdom, and the exemplary virtues, or even a death in the odor of sanctity.
After this procedure, the bishop responsible for transferring records to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints the Vatican by a procedure which will check its own veracity of the documents and testimony, and establish the appropriate expertise on any miracles to finally issue a recommendation to the pope.
to invoke tradition as intercessors for those who have demonstrated throughout their life a great closeness to God, is a peculiarity of the Catholic Church, dating back to the origin of the early church.
The early Christians were addressed in their prayers to the martyrs who shed their blood for their faith. Today, we continue to ask those who have died in the odor of sanctity intercede for us before God. The Blessed and Saints are important role models for the faithful who wish to live their lives in faith.
They bring a lot of believers hope and consolation.
