For a Priest on His First Mass
by VP

O Holy Spirit, Your servant who is about
to celebrate this Mass shares the holy priesthood of Jesus and Your
apostolate. Enkindle in his heart the flames that transformed the
disciples in the Upper Room. Let him be no longer an ordinary man but a
man living to transfuse the divine life into the souls of others. Give
him an ardent desire for the inner life as well as Your consolation and
strength. Enable him to see that even here below there is no true
happiness unless his life partakes of Yours and that of the Heart of
Jesus in the bosom of the Father.
Amen.
