Heavenly Father, we ask Thy blessing on our
efforts. Show us the way to spread the Truth of
the Catholic faith in the midst of error and
infidelity. Fill our hearts with authentic love
for our priests, bishops, pope and all the
clergy, a love that moves us to unceasing prayer
for their souls and to constant exhortation to
faithfully fulfill their sacred task of
preaching the whole truth of the Catholic faith
without compromise. Grant us wisdom in our
deliberations, courage in exposing error and
corruption, and humility and charity in all the
things we do. Bless our Holy Father with the
wisdom and holiness to discern and carry out Thy
Will, and the loyalty and fidelity of bishops,
priests and all Religious in helping him carry
out this task. May Thy will be done in all
things.
We
ask this through the intercession of our Holy
Mother Mary.
