Eternal Father,
turn Your merciful gaze upon
upon the souls of priests and religious.
Endow them with the strength of Your blessing.
For the love of the Heart of Your Son
in which they are enfolded,
impart to them, Your power and light,
that they may guide others in the way of salvation
and with one voice
sing praise to Your boundless mercy
for ages without end.
Amen.
