For the intentions of Msgr. David Benz;

Dear Lord,we pray that the Blessed Mother
wrap her mantle around your priests
and through her intercession
strengthen them for their ministry.
We pray that Mary will guide your priests
to follow her own words,
“Do whatever He tells you” (Jn 2:5).
May your priests have the heart of St. Joseph,
Mary’s most chaste spouse.
May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart
inspire them to embrace
all who suffer at the foot of the cross.
May your priests be holy,
filled with the fire of your love
seeking nothing but your greater glory
and the salvation of souls.
Amen.
St. John Vianney, pray for us
 
Serra Prayer for Vocations

O God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather that he be converted and live, grant we beseech You through the intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, Saint Joseph, her spouse, Blessed Junipero Serra, and all the saints, an increase of laborers for your Church, fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume themselves for souls, through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen
 
Please pray for Fr. Stephen Bilson-Ogoe who left the priesthood and Catholic Church.

He was in our parish and I am both in shock and distraught over this.

**Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to Thy protection, implored Thy help, or sought Thy intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To Thee do I come, before Thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy clemency, hear and answer me. Amen **

For the intentions of Deacon Ivan Hernandez;

Heavenly Father,
since the time of the Apostles
you have inspired the Church
to commission certain members
to assist in a special way
in the pastoral mission of Christ.
Bless the deacons
and all other ordained
and non-ordained ministers
that they may be humble
and faith-inspired in their service.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen

Eternal God…
Bless your Church with holy and faithful priests,
deacons, brothers and sisters.

Give those you have called to the married state
and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world,
the special graces that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in him,
with him and through him
we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully,
always and everywhere.

With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
 
Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you protect and watch over all the seminarians of the Churcy, especially those for whom I now pray…Grant them the grace to choose to follow you absolutely, love their brothers, and faithfully serve your people. Kindle in their hearts a fire for evangelization, and a total openness to your Holy Spirit. May they yearn to be in your Eucharistic presence, have a sincere devotion to your mother Mary, and steadfast loyalty to your Church. Give them the desire to pick up their cross daily for the greater glory of God. Amen.

Lord God, the Provider of all our needs,
you have asked us to pray for workers in your vineyard.
Manifest in your church the Spirit
whom you so abundantly bestowed on the apostles at Pentecost.
Bless our parish and our diocese
with an increase of men and women to minister in your church.
Form our parish in your image
to be the sacred environment
for listening to the Spirit
that these young men and women may hear your call
and respond with generous hearts.
May they give themselves,
their time, and their talents
to serve your Son and the Church.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
 
**Prayer for Seminarians **
O Lord Jesus, great High Priest, we entrust our seminarians to You. Enlighten the faculty in their guidance, spiritual directors in molding them, and professors in instructing them. Lead our seminarians daily in Your footsteps; so that they may become priests who are models of purity, teachers of wisdom, and heroes of sacrifice. Fill them with humility and love for God and man. Transform them into apostles of Your glory and sanctifiers of souls. Holy Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for them and obtain for us many more.
Amen.
