My Dear Jesus, Thou desirest that we pray the Lord of the harvest that He send zealous laborers into His harvest.  Deign to raise up in Thy Church, and especially in this diocese, numerous and holy priests who, taking Thy Divine Heart as their Model, will, in the exercise of their holy priesthood, promote the glory of Thy heavenly Father and the salvation of those souls whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy Precious Blood.

Give us truly holy priests who, inflamed with the fire of Thy divine love, seek nothing but Thy greater glory and the salvation of souls. O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us; obtain for us a number of holy priests.
