Prayer for Ordination
Most loving Jesus,
today is the anniversary of the day on which,
despite my unworthiness and through your goodness,
You conferred on me the dignity of the priesthood.
You made me not only your minister but the voice of your
sublime wisdom as well, and the dispenser of your mysteries.
My soul is filled with joy, love, and gratitude for this singular
privilege which I have received. At the same time, I am sad and
troubled for having so often, and without reason, failed to respond
as I ought to your great generosity.
I beg the continual assistance of your infinite goodness which
will enable me to accomplish the sublime work for which You have
commissioned me.
With your light in my mind and your strength in my heart
I shall daily dispense in greater abundance the fruits of
your redemption to all people.
Amen.
