Devotions
"I ask that future priests, from their time in the seminary, receive the preparation needed to understand and to celebrate Mass in Latin, and also to use Latin texts and execute Gregorian chant; nor should we forget that the faithful can be taught to recite the more common prayers in Latin, and also to sing parts of the liturgy to Gregorian chant. "
-- Pope Benedict XVI (Sacramentum Caritatis)

Daily Prayer for a Seminarian
Until his Ordination to the Priesthood
God our Father,
You have chosen Your Son, Jesus Christ,
to reveal Yourself to us.
You have chosen Your Church to show us Your love
through Him.
You have chosen ___________, your son,
to be a priest as a sign of that love to Your people.
We pray that the Holy Spirit continue to fill him with Your peace
and joy as he prepares for the holy priesthood.
We pray that through his priesthood he may proclaim the wonder
of Your faithfulness and love to all through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Amen.
