O most devout spiritual guide,
great pastor of your flock
and of all souls,
you who speak to us
even this day
with your words of wisdom
and blessed direction –
pray every branch
of Jesus’ vine
may aspire to His perfection;
in whatever state we find ourselves,
let us set our hearts
on loving the Lord
and serving Him and neighbor
prayerfully.
Teach us to pray faithfully,
to offer our lives
in all situations,
all for the glory of God.
Our call may we hear
and heed by your intercession,
following the Christ and carrying His Cross
as He leads.
