Almighty and Eternal God, in Your plan for our salvation You provide
priests as shepherds for Your people. Inspire men to answer Your call to
become priests, because “the harvest is great but the laborers are few.” Grant
Your Church an increase of priests and keep them faithful in their love and
service to You and the people entrusted to their care. Through their faith and
ministry may Your light shine in the world and Your kingdom be built
among us. Through Jesus Christ, our High Priest. Amen.
Our Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
