Ex umbris: Our feast

Thursday, 26 September 2013

On our feast today, see if you've got time to mention us in your prayers. We could always do with help with our studies, perseverance with the faith and general well being. We'll be praying for the areas Cosmas and Damian worked.

Prayer for Seminarians

We pray for the men You have called as they prepare for the priesthood.

Bless them with courgage and perseverance in their desire to serve you.

May their hearts overflow with Your compassion, understanding and generosity. May they inspire others to answer Your call.

Fill their hearts with the fire of Your love and give them the grace to follow You on their journey of faith.

Make them holy as You are holy through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

We pray particularly for the seminarians and formation staff at Oscott College, Allen Hall, St John's Seminary at Wonersh, the REC in Valladolid and the VEC and the Beda.

"Ask our Lord what he has in mind for you! Ask him for the generosity to say “yes!” Do not be afraid to give yourself totally to Jesus. He will give you the grace you need to fulfil your vocation." Benedict XVI
