"Let Christian families consider it one of their most sublime privileges to give priests to the Church; and so let them offer their sons to the sacred ministry with joy and gratitude.."
-- Pope John XXIII (Sacerdotii Nostri Primordia)
Prayer to Saint Charles Borromeo
O Saintly reformer, animator of spiritual renewal
of priests and religious, you organized true seminaries
and wrote a standard catechism. Inspire all religious
teachers and authors of catechetical books.
Move them to love and transmit only that which can form
true followers of the Teacher who was divine.
Amen.
