O Jesus, eternal High Priest, divine
Sacrificer, Thou who in an unspeakable burst of love for men, Thy
Brethren, didst cause the Christian Priesthood to spring forth from Thy
Sacred Heart, vouchsafe to pour forth upon Thy priests continual living
streams of infinite love.
Live in them, transform them in to
Thee; make them, by Thy Grace, fit instruments of Thy mercy; do Thou act
in them and through them, and grant, that they may become wholly one
with Thee by their faithful imitation of Thy Virtues; and, in Thy name
and by the strength of Thy spirit, may they do the works which Thou
didst accomplish for the salvation of the world.
Divine Redeemer
of souls, behold how great is the multitude of those who still sleep in
the darkness of error; reckon up the number of those unfaithful sheep
who stray to the edge of the precipice; consider the throngs of the
poor, the hungry, the ignorant and the feeble who groan in their
abandoned condition.
Return to us in the person of Thy priests;
truly live again in them; act through them and pass once more through
the world, teaching, forgiving, comforting, sacrificing and renewing the
sacred bonds of love between the Heart of God and the heart of man.
Amen.
