From rashly entering the clergy, deliver us, O Jesus
From the sin of sacrilege,
From the spirit of incontinence,
From sordid pursuits,
From every lapse into simony,
From the unworthy administration of the Church’s treasures,
From the love of the world and its vanities,
From the unworthy celebration of Thy Mysteries,
Through Thine eternal priesthood,
Through the holy anointing whereby Thou wert constituted a priest by God the Father,
Through Thy priestly spirit,
Through that ministry whereby Thou hast glorified Thy Father on earth,
Through the bloody immolation of Thy self made once and for all upon the Cross,
Through that same sacrifice daily renewed upon the altar,
Through that divine power which Thou exercisest invisibly in Thy priests,
That Thou wouldst deign to maintain the whole priestly order in holy religion, We beseech Thee, hear us
That Thou wouldst to provide Thy people with pastors after Thine own heart,
That Thou wouldst deign to fill them with the spirit of Your priesthood,
That the lips of Thy priests might preserve true knowledge,
That Thou wouldst deign to send faithful workers into Thy harvest,
That Thou wouldst deign to multiply the faithful dispensers of Thy Mysteries,
That Thou wouldst deign to grant them perseverance in the service of Thy will,
That Thou wouldst deign to give them gentleness in their ministry, resourcefulness in their actions, and constancy in prayer,
That through them Thou wouldst deign to promote the veneration of the Blessed Sacrament everywhere,
That Thou wouldst deign to receive into Thy joy those who have served Thee well,
Lamb of God, Who takest away the sin of the world, spare us, O Lord

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O God, who, whilest the disciples were worshiping and fasting, didst order Saul and Barnabas to be set apart for the work to which Thou hadst called them, be Thou present now to Thy Church in prayer, and do Thou, who knowest the hearts of all, indicate those whom Thou hast chosen for Thy ministry. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
