Prayer to Mary, August Queen of the Clergy
O Mary, August Queen of the Clergy, You who were given as Mother to Saint John the day after his priestly ordination; You who presided over the unanimous and persevering prayer of the Apostles and disciples on the day of Pentecost; deign to pray with us once more for the successors of the Apostles, for the Pope, the bishops, and the priests, that their holy ranks may multiply, and that, following the example of Your Divine Son Jesus, they may work effectively to support the weak, to console the afflicted, to convert sinners, and to extend throughout the earth the Kingdom of God, who lives forever and ever. Amen.
O Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us.
Ordinary of Paris, May 3, 1912
