A Prayer For Priests, Bishops, Deacons, Brothers, Sisters, Lay Ministers & Seminarians.

Lord Jesus, we ask you to hear our intercession for the renewal of spirit among bishops, priests, deacons, brothers, sisters, lay ministers, and seminarians, particularly from our diocese. We thank you for the ministry you have entrusted to the Church. In these times, refresh them with the gifts bestowed by Your Holy Spirit. You have opened the Scriptures to Your disciples during Your life on earth. Now, we ask that You revive Your selected and ordained servants with the truth and strength found in Your Word. In the Eucharist, You imparted renewed life and hope to Your disciples. Sustain Your consecrated servants with Your very Body and Blood. Guide them to reflect in their lives the death and resurrection they commemorate at Your altar. Instill in them a passion for the Gospel, a desire for the salvation of all, boldness in their leadership, and a spirit of humility in service. Grant them an abiding love for one another and for all their brothers and sisters in faith. You love them, Lord Jesus, and we unite our love and prayers for them in Your Holy Name.Amen.
