For the intentions of Fr. Aiden Lacy;

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.

Call many members of our community
To be generous workers for Your people
And to gather in Your harvest.
Send them to share the Good News of Jesus
With all the people on earth.

Through Christ our Lord.

Prayer for Seminarians

O Lord Jesus Christ, great High Priest, I pray that You call many worthy souls to Your holy priesthood.
Enlighten our Bishop in the choice of candidates, the Spiritual Director in molding them, and the professors in instructing them.
Lead the seminarians daily in Your unerring footsteps;
so that they may become priests who are models of purity, possessors of wisdom and heroes of sacrifice;
steeped in humility and aflame with love for God and man; apostles of Your glory and sanctifiers of souls.

Amen.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us.

From my parish bulletin:
Clergy Notice: I shar e with you the news that Father
Stephen Bilson-Ogoe is no longer in residence at All Saints
Parish. Fr. Ogoe has informed us that he will not be in
ministry as a Catholic priest. Bishop Loverde has removed
faculties for Father Ogoe so that he is no longer permitted
to preach, hear confessions, witness marriages, and offer
public Mass in the Diocese of Arlington. Additionally, Fr.
Ogoe is not to present himself as a Catholic priest, so as not
to confuse the lay Christian faithful. Please remember Fr.
Ogoe and the parishioners of All Saints in your prayers.

In his blog he says he left the Catholic Church altogether. Thank you for your prayers.

for the salvation of souls
and Your Kingdom.

Prayer for Seminarians

Lord Jesus, once you called the first disciples in order to make them fishers of men. Continue to let resound today your sweet invitation: “Come and follow Me.” Grant to young men the grace of responding promptly to your voice. Sustain our bishops, priests and consecrated souls in their apostolic work. Give perseverance to our seminarians and to all those who are fulfilling the ideal of a life of total consecration to your service. Enkindle in our communities a missionary zeal. Send, Lord, workers into your fields and do not let mankind be lost because of a lack of pastors, missionaries and people dedicated to the cause of the Gospel. Mary, Mother of the Church, model of vocations, help us say “yes” to the Lord who calls us to collaborate in the divine design of salvation. Amen.
~Pope John Paul II
