God the Father, you have chosen your beloved sons to be shepherds of your flock. You called them to lead your holy people to the eternal happiness. Today I ask you, send your Holy Spirit upon all Salvatorians and renew their commitment to serve you with all their hearts. Restore their deep relationship with you and with one another. Give them the courage to proclaim your salvation to all people everywhere. May they be a prophetic voice for the renewal of the Church in Australia.
Mother Mary, intercede for them and protect them from any harm of body and soul.
Give to all Salvatorians the desire to know you personally, Lord;
May they follow in the footsteps of the apostles, Lord;
May they make disciples everywhere, Lord;
May they trust in your Divine Providence, Lord;
May they be holy in body and soul, Lord;
May they be men of prayer, Lord;
May they be poor in spirit, Lord;
May they live out truth and justice, Lord;
May they live out solidarity and faithfulness, Lord;
May they discern the signs of the times, Lord;
May they be wise and shine brightly before others, Lord;
May they be faithful to their priestly vocation, Lord;
May the Holy Spirit lead them, Lord;
May they love your Church, Lord;
Give them patience and charity, Lord;
Give them humility and generosity, Lord;
Give them love and kindness, Lord;
Give them strength in their service, Lord;
Give them peace in their sufferings, Lord;
Give them Fr Francis Jordan’s burning zeal for souls, Lord;
Give them an intense love for the Eucharist, Lord;
Enkindle their hearts with the love of Mary, Lord.
AMEN
