Now glorify Me, Father, with You, with the glory that I had with You before the world began.Consecrate them in truth. Your word is truth. As You sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world. And I consecrate Myself for them, so that they also may be consecrated in truth.[ Jn. 17:5,17/18 ]…they crucified Him..[ Mk. 15:24 ]
We adore You O Christ and we praise You – because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.
I put my face to the ground Lord Jesus, for my eyes are shut with tears as I cannot bear to see what my sins have wrought.
I cover my ears, for the sound of hammer and nails is the drumbeat of my lack of trust fears – and yet – I must uncover my ears to hear the hammer sound of Love’s submission in trust being placed upon the Paten of the Cross – and yet – and yet I must open wide the eyes of my being, that I might adore You, our Eucharistic Lord as You are placed within the Monstrance of the Cross!
O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.
I am a poor ignorant man O Jesus – hesitant to truly envision and contemplate Your Crucifixion for I fear pain – yet know it is Your Kiss! I am a poor unworthy priest O Jesus – wanting to flee this place – yet my heart burns with a yearning desire to stay with You My Love, to concelebrate with You, to keep vigil with You. I am a poor celebrant of Your Sacred Mysteries O Jesus, my Priest and my God – yet how I yearn to enter fully into the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. O Jesus through Your Sacred Impaling upon the Paten of the Cross – make of me and all my brothers good and holy priests.
O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and
trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.
Grant O Jesus that through fidelity to the sacrament of the duty of the moment I allow myself to be placed upon the Paten of the moment, always embracing the fullness of the sacerdotal mystery of being both priest-oblation and priest who offers, in You, with You, through You, by the power of the Holy Spirit, for the glory of the Father and the salvation of souls.
O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.
O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Priests – pray for me and my brother priests that we willingly be sacrificial victims for souls, that we believe what we celebrate, teach what we celebrate and live what we celebrate.
May the God of peace Himself make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The One who calls is faithful, and He will also accomplish it. Brothers, pray for us.[ 1 Thess. 5:23/24]
