Please pray for the work of the English College and the students in training

Lord, fill with the gift of your Holy Spirit
those whom you have deigned to raise to the rank of the priesthood
that they may worthy to stand without reproach before your altar,
to proclaim the Gospel of your kingdom,
to fulfil the ministry of your word of truth,
to offer you spiritual gifts and sacrifices,
to renew your people by the bath of rebirth;
so that they may go out to meet
our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ, your only Son,
on the day of his second coming,
and may receive from your vast goodness
the recompense for a faithful administration of their order
