MOST REVEREND KEVIN CARL RHOADES

Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades was born Nov. 26, 1957, in Mahanoy City, Pa., located in Schuylkill County in the Diocese of Allentown, Pa., and baptized at St. Canicus Church there. He is the son of the late Charles and the late Mary Rhoades and the brother of Charles Rhoades and Robin McCracken.

He grew up in Lebanon, Pa., where he was a member of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish. He attended the former St. Mary’s School in Lebanon and graduated from Lebanon Catholic High School in 1975. He enrolled at Mount Saint Mary’s College (now University) in Emmitsburg, Md., in the fall of 1975, and studied there for two years. He studied for the priesthood at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in Overbrook, Pa., and earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy there in 1979. He did his theological studies at the North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University, both in Rome, from 1979-1983. He also studied Spanish at the University of Salamanca in Spain during the summer of 1982.

Cardinal Terence Cooke ordained Bishop Rhoades a deacon at St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City in 1982. Bishop Rhoades was ordained a priest in July 1983 by then-Auxiliary Bishop William H. Keeler of Harrisburg at Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church in Lebanon.

Following ordination, Bishop Rhoades served in parish ministry as parochial vicar at St. Patrick Parish in York, Pa. from 1983-1985, and also worked with Spanish-speaking Catholics at Cristo Salvador Parish in York and Cristo Rey Mission in Bendersville. In 1985, he returned to the Gregorian University in Rome, earning advanced degrees in dogmatic theology and canon law.

In 1988, he returned to the Harrisburg Diocese to serve as assistant chancellor under then-Bishop Keeler. During this time, he also ministered as the director of the Spanish apostolate in Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry counties. Bishop Rhoades was appointed pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Harrisburg, in 1990. He served there until 1995, when he accepted a full-time faculty position with Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary. While there, he taught courses in systematic theology, canon law and Hispanic ministry.

In March 1997, he was named rector of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, a role he fulfilled until his appointment by Pope John Paul II as Bishop of the Diocese of Harrisburg on Oct. 14, 2004. On Dec. 9, 2004, he was ordained ninth Bishop of Harrisburg by Cardinal Justin Rigali, Archbishop of Philadelphia.

Bishop Rhoades serves as Chair of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Task Force on Health Care, and as episcopal moderator of the National Catholic Office for the Deaf. He is a member of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Doctrine, the USCCB Committee on Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs, the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism, the board of trustees of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the board of trustees of Mount Saint Mary’s University, the board of trustees of Saint Charles Seminary, the board of regents of Saint Vincent Seminary, the episcopal advisory board of the Theology of the Body Institute, and the episcopal cabinet for Catholic Charities USA. Bishop Rhoades was also recently appointed as chairman-elect of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Laity, Marriage, Family Life and Youth.

On November 14, 2009, Bishop Rhoades was appointed the ninth Bishop of Fort Wayne-South Bend in Indiana. The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend comprises 14 counties of northeastern Indiana and has a Catholic population of over 160,000.

OPENING PRAYER

12 LITURGY OF THE WORD

FIRST READING Isaiah 6:1-8 This reading will be proclaimed in English.

Lectura del libro del Isaías

El año de la muerte del rey Ozías, vi al Señor sentado sobre un trono muy alto y magnífico. La orla de su manto llenaba el templo. Había dos serafines junto a él, con seis alas cada uno: con un par se cubrían el rostro; con otro, se cubrían los pies, y con el otro, volaban. Y se gritaban el uno al otro: “Santo, santo, santo es el Señor, Dios de los ejércitos; su gloria llena toda la terra.” Temblaban las puertas al clamor de su voz y el templo se llenaba de humo. Entonces exclamé: “¡Ay de mí!, estoy perdido, porque soy un hombre de labios impuros, que habito en medio de un pueblo de labios impuros, porque he visto con mis ojos al rey y Señor de los ejércitos.” Después voló hacia mí uno de los serafines. Llevaba en la mano una brasa, que había tomado del altar con unas tenazas. Con la brasa me tocó la boca, diciéndome: “Mira: Esto ha tocado tus labios. Tu iniquidad ha sido quitada y tus pecados están perdonados.” Escuché entonces la voz del Señor que decía: “¿A quién enviaré? ¿Quién irá de parte mía?” Yo le respondí: “Aquí estoy, Señor, envíame.”

The word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

“A bishop, since he is sent by the Father to govern his family, must keep before his eyes the example of the Good Shepherd, who came not to be ministered unto but to minister, and to lay down his life for his sheep.”

~ Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium , 27

13 RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 110

The Lord’s revelation to my Master: “Sit on my right: your foes I will put beneath your feet.” R.

The Lord will wield from Zion your scepter of power: rule in the midst of all your foes. R.

A prince from the day of your birth on the holy mountains; from the womb before the dawn I begot you. R.

The Lord has sworn an oath he will not change. “You are a priest for ever, a priest like Melchizedek of old.” R.

The Master standing at your right hand will shatter kings in the day of his great wrath. He shall drink from the stream by wayside and therefore he shall lift up his head. R.

14 SECOND READING Ephesians 4:11-16 This reading will be proclaimed in Spanish.

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians

Brothers and sisters: Christ gave some as Apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ, so that we may no longer be infants, tossed by waves and swept along by every wind of teaching arising from human trickery, from their cunning in the interests of deceitful scheming. Rather, living the truth in love, we should grow in every way into him who is the head, Christ, from whom the whole Body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, with the proper functioning of each part, brings about the Body’s growth and builds itself up in love.

Palabra de Dios. All: Te alabamos, Señor.

“The Bishop is called in a particular way to be a prophet, witness

and servant of hope. He has the duty of instilling confidence and

proclaiming before all people the basis of Christian hope.”

~ Pope John Paul II, Pastores Gregis , 3

21 THE EXCHANGE OF PEACE

AGNUS DEI

“A bishop, marked with the fullness of the sacrament of Orders, is ‘the steward of the grace of the supreme priesthood,’ especially in the Eucharist, which he offers or causes to be offered, and by which the Church continually lives and grows.”

~ Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium , 26

22 Guidelines for Reception of Holy Communion

For Catholics As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). A frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.

For our fellow Christians We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ's prayer for us: "that they may all be one" (John 17:21). Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life, and worship, members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844 § 4). Members of the Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 § 3).

For those not receiving Holy Communion All who are not receiving Holy Communion are encouraged to express in their hearts a prayerful desire for unity with the Lord Jesus and with one another.

For non-Christians We also welcome to this celebration those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family. United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, © 1996.

23 COMMUNIO Quod dico vobis in ténebris, What I say to you in the darkness, dicite in lúmine, dicit Dóminus: speak in the light, says the Lord: et quod in aure audítis, and what you hear whispered in your ear,

prædicáte super tecta. proclaim upon the rooftops. (Matt. 10:27)

“That which every Bishop has heard and received from the heart of the Church he must then give back to his brothers and sisters, whom he must care for like the Good Shepherd.”

~ Pope John Paul II, Pastores Gregis , 29

25 COMMUNION MOTET

Ave Verum Corpus Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (c. 1756–1791)

Ave verum corpus , Hail, the true body, natum de María Vírgine. born of the Virgin Mary. Vere passum immolátum Truly suffered, sacrificed, in cruce pro hómine. on the cross for mankind. Cujus latus perforátum Whose pierced side unda fluxit et sánguine, flowed with blood, esto nobis prægustátum be for us a foretaste in mortis exámine. in the test of death.

Text attributed to Pope Innocent VI (c. 1300-1362)

“The Apostle tells us that by acting in accordance with truth in love, we help to ensure that all things in the universe may grow, striving for Christ. ... The ultimate purpose of Christ's work is the transformation of the universe, of the whole human world, of all creation. Those who serve the truth in love together with Christ contribute to the true progress of the world. ... Where the presence of Christ increases, therein lies the true progress of the world. There, mankind becomes new and thus the world is made new.”

27 RECESSIONAL HYMN O God Beyond All Praising

Verse 2 will be sung by the choir

Text: Michael Perry ©1982 Hope Publishing Co. Tune: THAXTED; Gustav Holst 1874-1934 Reprinted with permission under OneLicense.Net #A702893, GIA Publications, 7343 S Mason Ave, Chicago, IL 60638. All rights reserved.

Choral verse: The flow’r of earthly splendor in time must surely die, its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; but hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown— though small in mortal stature, to heaven’s garden grown; for Christ the man from heaven, from death has set us free, and we through him are given the final victory.

“As spiritual guides of their flocks, bishops should be zealous in promoting the sanctity of their clergy, their religious, and their laity according to the vocation of each individual, remembering that they are under an obligation to give an example of sanctity in charity, humility, and simplicity of live. Let them so sanctify the churches entrusted to them that the mind of the universal Church of Christ may be fully reflected in them. …

“In exercising his office of father and pastor, the bishop should be with his people as one who serves, as a good shepherd who knows his sheep and whose sheep know him, as a true father who excels in his love and solicitude for all, to whose divinely conferred authority all gratefully submit. He should so unite and mold his flock into one family that all, conscious of their duties, may live and act in the communion of charity.”

~ Second Vatican Council, Christus Dominus Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops in the Church 15-16

29 THE COAT OF ARMS & E PISCOPAL MOTTO

THE COAT OF ARMS for Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, ninth bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, combines diocesan (left half) and personal (right half) elements.

The crescent moon at the top left of the shield symbolizes the Blessed Virgin, the patroness of the diocese and the cathedral under the title of her Immaculate Conception; the battlement, or rampart, recalling the historic foundation of the See City of Fort Wayne; and the three crosses of equal size representing the Most Blessed Trinity.

The lower portion of the left side includes heraldic reference to the city and area of South Bend. The lily is a traditional symbol of St. Joseph, whose name identifies the county of which South Bend is the seat and also the river which flows through it. The use of the “fleur de lis,” the French form of the lily, recalls the pioneer settlement by the French and the early missionary labors of French priests, particularly Holy Cross Father Edward Sorin and his companions, who founded the University of Notre Dame. The figure of the six-winged angel is one of the symbols of the four Evangelists, in this instance of St. Matthew, Patron of the Co-Cathedral in South Bend. The curving line between the lower two sections of the shield represents the St. Joseph River, the south bend of which gave the city its name.

The top right of the shield, the most prominent field in Bishop Rhoades’ coat of arms, is dedicated to the Holy Eucharist. Bishop Rhoades particularly desired to emphasize that “the church draws her life from the Eucharist,” as Pope John Paul II states in the opening sentence of his encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia . Bishop Rhoades also wished to highlight the centrality of the Holy Eucharist in the life and ministry of priests and bishops as the source of pastoral charity and nourishment for self-giving service in imitation of Jesus’ gift of self, re-presented in the Eucharistic sacrifice.

The deep heraldic red background commemorates the blood of Christ poured out for us on the cross and made present in the Eucharistic banquet. The Sacred Host represents the body of Christ truly present in the Eucharist and is irradiated with the golden rays of the sun as seen from behind, signifying that Jesus is the “Light of the World.” The Host is uniquely inscribed with a monogram bearing the initials “IHC,” the first three letters of the Greek word “Jesus” (IHCOYC). The use of Greek, the original language of the New Testament and the early language of the Church, honors the bishop’s maternal Greek heritage.

Bishop Rhoades likewise wished to honor the Mother of God and to invoke her maternal intercession in the mission of the new evangelization. In so doing, he selected the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe, in which the Virgin Mary instructed the humble peasant Juan Diego, on whose feast day (Dec. 9) Kevin C. Rhoades was consecrated to the episcopacy, to return to his own local bishop to present a sign so that all in the Church could believe her message to him. When Juan Diego opened his tilma, or humble peasant’s poncho, in front of his bishop, even though at that time it was deep in the winter season when nothing in nature was in bloom, the roses that Our Lady had instructed Juan Diego

30 to collect fell to the ground in a shower of brilliant color and sweet fragrance. At that instant, the glorious image of the Mother of God appeared on his tilma.

The bottom field of the personal arms symbolically depicts the opening of Juan Diego’s tilma, in the same confident belief in the Blessed Virgin embraced long ago by the humble Mexican peasant, with three roses on a silver field. Bishop Rhoades has selected the Rosa Mystica, the red heraldic rose that centuries ago was set aside as one of the heraldic emblems for Jesus’ Mother. The simple silver background of the lower half of his arms represents both spiritual purity and priesthood and the humble cloth of Juan Diego’s tilma.

Dividing the two separate fields of the arms is a device known in the heraldic science as dancetty, which is commonly employed to depict mountains. For Bishop Rhoades, this division device symbolically represents four specific mountain ranges that will forever remain close to his heart: the mountains surrounding his home region of Mahanoy City, PA; the imposing Appenines that frame the Eternal City where the bishop prepared for priesthood; the mountains cradling his beloved Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary in Emmitsburg, MD, from whence as rector Bishop Rhoades came to Harrisburg; and the verdant peaks that are the imposing terrain of the See of Harrisburg.

Surmounting the episcopal shield is the Pilgrim’s Hat, the heraldic emblem for all prelates and priests of the Latin Rite of the Roman Catholic Church. For the rank of bishop, both residential and titular, the Pilgrim’s Hat is worked in deep green, the true color of the Office of Bishop. For bishops, there are six tassels suspended on either side of the hat in a pyramidal style. The hat is properly known in the church as the galero and the tassel takes the name fiocchio. These, too, are worked in green for the Office of Bishop. Behind Bishop Rhoades’ coat of arms is the Episcopal cross. For the rank of bishop, this cross has only one transverse arm.

The personal arms of Bishop Rhoades was devised by James-Charles Noonan, Jr. of Philadelphia.

THE EPISCOPAL MOTTO

In Church heraldry, the personal motto of a prelate has always been intended to represent his personal spirituality and theologically-based philosophy of life, and it is frequently grounded in Sacred Scripture.

The personal motto of Bishop Rhoades is VERITATEM IN CARITATE , which translates as “Truth in Charity.” This motto served him well in his leadership as rector of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary where he steadfastly encouraged future priests to always be faithful in proclaiming and living the truth of the Gospel in charity. The words of this motto are found in sacred Scripture in St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, “let us proclaim the truth in charity and grow to the full maturity of Christ the head” (4:15).

The Second Vatican Council, in its teaching on the Church as the body of Christ, refers to this scriptural passage saying, “Christ continually provides in his body, that is, in the church, for gifts of ministries through which, by his power, we serve each other unto salvation so that, carrying out the truth in charity, we may through all things grow unto him who is our head” — Lumen Gentium , 7.

In yet another predominate document from the Second Vatican Council, the Church again refers to the passage in Ephesians in teaching on peace as the fruit of love, saying, “All Christians are earnestly to speak the truth in charity and join with all peace-loving people in pleading for peace and trying to bring it about” — Gaudium et Spes , 78.

31 THE DIOCESE OF FORT WAYNE -SOUTH BEND : A B RIEF HISTORY What we would consider the Fort Wayne area was first placed under the care of the Bishop of Quebec from 1674 to 1789. Then, with the establishment of the Diocese of Baltimore, the Fort Wayne area was under the jurisdiction of Bishop Carroll from 1789 until 1810. In 1810 it was placed under Bishop Flaget, the Bishop of Bardstown, Kentucky. Then from 1834 to 1857 the Fort Wayne area was part of the Vincennes Diocese. Vincennes would later become the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

According to George Mather in his book, “Frontier Faith,” the earliest account of worship in the Fort Wayne area was December 20, 1789. Father Louis Payet, a priest from Detroit, conducted “eight services of worship in as many days.” At that time, Fort Wayne was known as Miamitown and was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Quebec.

On January 8, 1857, by the decree of Pope Pius IX, the northern half of the state of Indiana was erected into the Diocese of Fort Wayne, the boundaries being that part of the state north of the southern lines of Fountain, Montgomery, Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Randolph, and Warren Counties.

In 1846, the Bishops of the Sixth Provincial Council of Baltimore proclaimed Mary, under her title of Immaculate Conception, to be the principal Patroness of the United States. This spiritual bond was formalized in 1847, when Pope Pius IX (who would solemnly define the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854) entrusted America to her protection.

Providentially, when the Diocese of Fort Wayne was established in 1857, it, too, was dedicated to Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception.

Beginning one year later in 1858, Mary appeared 18 times near Lourdes, France, to 14-year-old Bernadette Soubirous. When asked by Bernadette, Our Lady identified herself by saying, “I am the Immaculate Conception.”

In 1944, an Apostolic Decree of His Holiness Pope Pius XII established the Diocese of Lafayette from the southern twenty- four counties of the Fort Wayne Diocese, dividing the size of the Diocese of Fort Wayne approximately in half.

Another division occurred in 1957, the year the diocese was celebrating its 100th anniversary. The Diocese of Gary was established, comprising the four northwestern counties of Indiana. Bishop Leo Pursley then petitioned the Holy See to change the name of the Diocese of Fort Wayne to the Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend, and St. Matthew’s Parish in South Bend was named the Co-Cathedral in 1960.

32 THE CATHEDRAL OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION The first recorded Catholic presence in Fort Wayne was in 1611. A permanent Catholic settlement was begun in 1830 when Fr. Steven Badin – the first priest ordained in America – began serving the area. In 1831, he helped Catholic pioneers purchase much of what is now known as Cathedral Square.

Fr. Louis Mueller was appointed the first resident pastor of Fort Wayne in 1836, and he constructed a small log church dedicated to St. Augustine in 1837.

In 1840, Fr. Julian Benoit became pastor, and in 1846, he completed the first Catholic school in Fort Wayne, St. Augustine's Academy. Three Sisters of Providence came to provide instruction – one being the recently canonized Mother Theodore Guerin. Cathedral Square from the West, circa 1875

With the establishment of the Diocese of Fort Wayne in 1857, and the need for a cathedral in the See City, Fr. Benoit directed the building of a Gothic, twin-towered structure measuring 80 by 180 feet. On Trinity Sunday, June 19, 1859, the cornerstone was placed by Bishop John Henry Luers, the first Bishop of Fort Wayne. The Cathedral was completed in about 18 months, and dedicated to the greater glory and honor of God on December 8, 1860, the feast of the Immaculate Conception.

Shortly before completion, the Fort Wayne Daily Times printed this glowing tribute: "This magnificent edifice ... is one of the finest on the continent and altogether the grandest church structure in the West."

Over the last century and a half, the Cathedral has undergone a number of renovations, the most recent being a restoration and subsequent rededication of the Cathedral on December 8, 1998. THE CATHEDRA “The Bishop's chair, which especially in the tradition of the Eastern Churches evokes God's paternal authority, can only be occupied by the Bishop. This same symbolism is the source of every Bishop's duty to lead the holy people of God as a devoted father and to guide them – together with his priests, his co-workers in the episcopal ministry, and with his deacons – in the way of salvation.” ~ Pope John Paul II, Pastores Gregis , 7

The word cathedral comes from the Greek and Latin cathedra , for chair or throne . The present cathedra in the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was installed in 1935 under Bishop John F. Noll. The chair is surmounted by an elaborately hand-carved, spire-like turret that matches the wood-carved reredos and Gothic figures gracing the sanctuary wall. The coat of arms of the current bishop is mounted on the chair. The turret of the cathedra also contains a Latin inscription from John 21: “Simon, do you love me? Feed my lambs.”

33 SYMBOLS OF THE OFFICE OF BISHOP

Those ordained to the fullness of the Sacrament of Holy Orders wear distinctive symbols or insignias, also called regalia, which communicate to the faithful and others their special place within the Church.

THE MITER During an Episcopal ordination, a miter is placed upon the new bishop’s head with the words: “Receive the miter, and may the splendor of holiness shine forth in you, so that when the chief shepherd appears, you may deserve to receive from him an unfading crown of glory.” The miter is a headdress, which points upward toward heaven and can be compared to the laurel wreaths given to victorious athletes.

THE RING The Episcopal ring is a sign of the Bishop’s espousal and fidelity to the Church. The ring worn by Bishop Kevin Rhoades is called the Concilio ring. It was commissioned by Pope Paul VI and given to the participants of the Second Vatican Council. The gold ring resembles a miter and is engraved with the images of Jesus Christ and Saints Peter & Paul. It is a gift from Bishop Rhoades’ sister, Robin McCracken and her family, in memory of their mother, Mary Rhoades.

THE CROSIER (P ASTORAL STAFF ) Each bishop is a symbol of Christ the Good Shepherd. The crosier symbolizes the responsibility that the bishop has in leading all to Christ. Sometimes the crosier is used to ward off wolves that try to do harm to the flock, and at other times it can be used to pull the sheep back if they begin to wander astray. The crosier tells us that the bishop is a leader after Christ’s own heart. The crosier that Bishop Kevin Rhoades is using at this Installation Mass belonged to Archbishop John Francis Noll, fifth bishop of Fort Wayne.

THE PECTORAL CROSS The pectoral cross is called such because it is worn over the pectus or breast of the bishop, close to his heart. Traditionally, the bishop will kiss the cross and place it over his neck with a short prayer asking the Lord for three things: to be protected against all who wish him harm, to be able always to remember the Passion of Christ, and to keep in mind the success of those who have professed their faith in Christ.

THE CHALICE

The chalice used by Bishop Kevin Rhoades at his Installation Mass belonged to the French-born Monsignor Julian Benoit. The construction of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception was overseen by Msgr. Benoit, who served as its first rector and also as first vicar general of the young diocese. Msgr. Benoit died on January 26, 1885, after serving the parish for 45 years. At his request, he was buried in the Cathedral “… that in death, as I was in life, I may be among the people whom I loved.” A memorial inscription requesting prayers for him can be found on the floor in the nave of the Cathedral. The chalice itself is gold and is decorated with angels.

35 Prayer During the Year for Priests Dear Lord, we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around your priests and through her intercession strengthen them for their ministry. We pray that Mary will guide your priests to follow her own words, “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2:5). May your priests have the heart of St. Joseph, Mary’s most chaste spouse. May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart inspire them to embrace all who suffer at the foot of the cross. May your priests be holy, filled with the fire of your love seeking nothing but your greater glory and the salvation of souls. Amen. Saint John Vianney, pray for us.
