Ordination Novena to Mary for Deacons Bradley Grobbel, David Jaramillo, William Kearley, and Ryan Ruhle, Day 2: May our new priests pledge sincere filial obedience to our bishop and all his successors, and may our bishop be a true father to them as they undertake their priestly ministry.
Novena prayer: O Holy Mother of God, pray for our men whom your Son has chosen to serve the Church as priests as they approach their ordinations: Deacons Bradley Grobbel, David Jaramillo, William Kearley, and Ryan Ruhle. Help them by your intercession to be holy, zealous, and chaste. Make them models of virtue in the service of God’s people. Help them to be prayerful in meditations, effective in preaching, and enthusiastic in the daily offering of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Help them to administer the sacraments with joy. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Our Father…
Hail Mary…
Glory Be…St. John Vianney, pray for our soon-to-be priests!
