Sacrament of Holy Orders

We ask you, all powerful Father, give these servants of yours the dignity of the presbyterate.  Renew the Spirit of holiness within them.  By your divine gift may they attain the second order in the hierarchy and exemplify right conduct in their lives.

May they be our fellow-workers, so that the words of the gospel may reach the farthest parts of the earth, and all nations, gathered together in Christ, may become one holy people of God.
