Becoming a deacon & priest

– I do.

Do you resolve to be united more closely every day to Christ High Priest, who offered himself for us to the Father as a pure sacrifice, and with him to consecrate yourselves to God for the salvation of all?

– I do, with the help of God.

Lord Jesus,
You who always called men to serve You as priests
in the Church of the third millennium,
give to the men to which you address your call the courage to answer it.
You, the Master of the harvest,
teach them to follow you lavishly,
teach them to faithfully keep your Word,
teach them to love the Eucharist,
teach them to say with Mary and Martin:
“Fiat, may your will be done”,
so that they may become the pastors that the world needs.
