Jesus, Good Shepherd,
You sent us the Holy Spirit to guide Your Church
and lead her faithful to You through the ministry of Your priests.
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
grant to Your priests, wisdom in leading,
faithfulness in teaching, and holiness
in guarding Your sacred Mysteries.
May Your priests be ever more closely identified
with You and offer their own lives with You.
Make them helpful brothers to one another,
and understanding fathers of all Your people.
