Lord
Jesus Christ,
You
took to Yourself a body and soul like ours,
To
teach us the glory of self-sacrifice and service,
Mercifully
instill in our hearts,
The
desire to dedicate our lives to You.
Give
us PRIESTS and DEACONS,
To
stand at the altar and to speak the words of the Gospel;
BROTHERS
and SISTERS,
To
teach the young, nurse the sick and minister charity to all;
LAY
PEOPLE,
To
imitate You in their hearts, families, work and community.
AMEN. |
