Intercession at Her Tomb

As part of the local phase of Julia’s Cause for Canonization, her body was exhumed at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and moved to the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Denver. This was done, both to identify her body and to make its resting place more easily accessible for the faithful so that they might bring their prayers for her intercession there.

Julia’s bones were original placed in a funerary box made of exotic red heart wood, which was later be encapsulated in a sarcophagus made of Carrara marble, the same stone used by Michelangelo for his statues of the Pieta, David, and Moses.

Julia’s friends can find her tomb, near the altar of the Sacred Heart in the northwest corner of the sanctuary, and they are invited to visit and spend time there in prayer.

You may wish to use the following prayer, approved on June 29, 2017, by Archbishop Samuel Aquila of Denver, for private use:

Heavenly Father, your servant Julia Greeley dedicated her life to honoring the Sacred Heart of your Son and to the humble service of the poor. Grant to me a generous heart like your Son’s, and if it be in accordance with your holy will, please grant this favor I now ask through Julia’s intercession (insert intention) I pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please report in writing any favors received through Julia’s intercession to juliagreeleyguild@gmail.com or sent them to Julia Greeley Guild, 2760 Larimer St., Denver CO 80205.
