Most merciful Jesus, from Whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.
Eternal Father, turn
Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard - upon the
souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing.
For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to
them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way
of salvation and with one voice sing praises to Your boundless mercy for ages
without end. Amen.
