Lord Jesus Christ, eternal High Priest and Universal King, graciously hear our supplications and come to the aid of your Church by raising up holy men filled with apostolic zeal and holy courage to the ranks of your Sacred Priesthood.

May they be ready warriors agaist the powers of darkness and stalwart champions of the poor, the suffering, and the persecuted.

May they have a heart burning for the Holy Eucharist and be true devoted sons of your Most Dear Mother.

Through the glorious intercession of Our Lady, Queen of Priest, and the saintly priests in your heavenly kingdom, may the Church be renewed by pure and pious priests for the sake of your flock and the spread of the Gospel to the ends of the world.   We ask this in Your Most Holy Name, Amen.
