Intercede Catholic Novenas, Fulton Sheen Novena page, https://catholicnovenaapp.com/novenas/fulton-sheen-novena/ Text verification, 21 October 2026: Restore the prescribed closing Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be, remove orphaned approval headings from the prayer body, and use Blessed following the official 2026 beatification. Approval signatures are attribution, not spoken prayer. This is a later devotional witness. This comparison does not establish pre-1962 provenance for the exact English wording. Daily thematic titles are editorial aids; the cited source repeats its prayer sequence each day. Official status: https://www.celebratesheen.com/; local optional memorial: https://www.celebratesheen.com/faq-2. The official Foundation FAQ identifies December 9 as the approved modern optional memorial for the Diocese of Peoria; it is not a feast of the 1962 General Roman Calendar. https://www.celebratesheen.com/faq-2.
