Nazareth House Prayer
Lord Jesus, before beginning Your saving mission,
You “grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man”
under the guidance of Mary, your Mother, and Joseph, her Spouse.
Please bless and guide the seminarians and priests of Nazareth House as they prepare to work in Your vineyard.
Grant them strength and growth in the virtue and character
needed to be men wholly consecrated to Your service
- eager to work in Your harvest with missionary zeal -
so that humanity may not be lost for lack of disciples
dedicated to living the joy of the Gospel.
Jesus, graciously hear this prayer
through the intercession of the most Blessed Virgin Mary
and St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse.
Amen.
