What kind of prayer was said for Marat after his death?

The Catholic Church, which had previously been opposed to Marat, did not officially recognize his martyrdom, but a number of Catholic priests, such as Abbé Sicard, who had met Marat during the Revolution, celebrated his memory and said prayers for his soul, such as "O heart of Jesus! O sacred heart of Marat".
