O good teacher
of the poor boys in your care,
minister of the Lord
to those most in need,
with what humble affection
you carried out your work
in educating souls
in the Gospel of Christ
and guiding others to do the same –
pray that we, too,
shall give ourselves in sacrificial silence
to the call the Lord has placed
upon our souls,
and especially that teachers
of the young and disadvantaged
will find grace and strength
from our Lord
to carry out in truth and love
their work for Christ and His Church.
May the Temple of God
be built up on this earth
in all poor souls
washed in Christ’s blood.
