God, Who  didst  will  that  the  unconquered  love  of Thy  holy  Cross  should  inspire  Blessed  Julia  to  enrich Thy  Church  with  a  new  family  for  the  education  of  the daughters of  the  poor:  grant,  through  her  intercession,  that steadfast endurance  of  suffering  may  obtain  for  us  everlasting joy. Who livest  and  reignest  one  God,  world  without end. Amen.

WONDERFUL model  of  holiness. Blessed Julia,  with humility and  confidence  we  come  to  beg  thy  powerful intercession and  thy  continual  protection. Inflame our hearts with  one  spark  of  that  divine  fire  which  entirely  consumed thee  with  love  of  God  and  zeal  for  the  salvation  of souls:  deign  in  thy  goodness  to  cast  on  us  a  look  of  pity,  and obtain for  us  that,  despising  earthly  things,  we  may  set  our affections and  desires  only  on  eternal  goods. Obtain for  us also  the  forgiveness  of  our  sins,  that  with  pure  hearts  we may  repeat  those  words  so  continually  on  thy  lips:  How good is  the  good  God! "Obtain for  us  also  patience  in  our trials,  constancy  in  our  good  resolutions,  and  perseverance in  grace,  so  that  we  may  pass  our  lives  in  perfect  conformity with  the  divine  will,  and  that,  overcoming  the  wiles  of  the devil,  the  attractions  of  the  world,  and  our  evil  inclinations, we  may  merit  to  enjoy  eternal  glory  with  thee  in  heaven. Amen.
