Father,

Give to all the clergy the graces you bestowed on the apostles, to witness to the world that your kingdom is already in being here on earth. Grant that our Pope, the successor of Peter, may lead us in the path of truth and goodness, speaking to us with the voice of Christ himself. Give to our bishops the grace together to govern the people under their care with strength and right teaching under the leadership of the Pope. May all our clergy and religious give the example of care and compassion in all that they do.

​

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
