Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest,
pour out, we pray, your grace upon our seminarians.
Shelter them within your Sacred Heart,
that they may become men after your heart
in prayer, in study, in community, and in apostolic work.
Bring to fulfillment the good work you have begun in them,
that they may believe, teach, and practice
the Gospel with sincerity of heart,
and that they may understand, imitate, and conform their lives
to the mystery of your Cross
presented in the Sacred Liturgy.
May their eyes be ever fixed upon you
who live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
Mary, Mother of Priests, pray for us.
Pope Saint John Paul II, pray for us.
