O Jesus my Lord and my God – grant me to enter into Your pain and Your trustful surrender to the Holy Will of our Father.

Ite, Missa est – this is the moment of our priestly missioning! O Jesus grant that I and all my brother priests bring You and only You to every one!

Father, into Your hands I commend My Spirit. – Lk. 23:46

O Immaculate Heart of Mary, Mother of Priests – pray for me and all my brother priests that each day we receive you ever more deeply into the home of our hearts.

Indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern the secret thoughts of the heart. No creature is concealed from Him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to Whom we must render an account. Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and to find grace for timely help. [ Hb. 4: 12/16 ]
