We thank you, Lord, for the gift of vocation, for calling us to be your servants and, in the spirit of Father Thomas Judge and St. Vincent de Paul, to be the servants of those to whom we minister. Help us to always cherish this gift by being zealous in proclaiming your kingdom.
Give us the wisdom to recognize the needs and the gifts of those to whom we are sent, especially the poor and abandoned.
Help us to be simple in our life, chaste in our friendships, and humble in our response to those you send to guide us. Let our ministry, O Lord, be a light that attracts others to your service.
May our lives express the joy of your love and mercy, and may they, in cooperation with your grace, draw others to join us as Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, members of a missionary family that calls God our father, Jesus our brother, and the Holy Spirit our life itself. Blest be that holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever.
Amen.
Lord, you have called the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity to serve you in the spirit of Father Thomas Judge, their founder, and of St. Vincent de Paul.
May they always be faithful to that vocation by being true servants of those to whom they minister. Give them, we pray, the wisdom to recognize the needs and the gifts of those they serve, especially the poor and abandoned.
Inspire and strengthen these men, dedicated by their vows, to be simple in their life, chaste in their friendships, and humble in their obedience to the call of God's people. Let their lives, O Lord, reflect the joy of your love and mercy.
May they, in cooperation with your grace, draw others to join them as Missionary Servants, as members and associates, all belonging to the family that calls you its Father, Jesus a brother and the Holy Spirit its very life.
Blest be that holy and undivided Trinity, now and forever.
Amen.
