My Ordination Prayer

Almighty God I implore you to  send the Holy Spirit down upon me to strengthen me, guide
me and inspire me,help me  to become a small instrument in answering the call first given by
Almighty God to our Founding Father, St. Francis, to “Rebuild My Church”.   I understand
fully that what you have called me to do will not be an easy task and that there are many
obstacles to overcome.  The least of which is my lack of transportation to travel around the
region that is being entrusted to me and a permanent house in which to offer praise and
Eucharist to You, Almighty God.  A place where the faith community can gather together for
worship, meetings, counseling and other functions related to a strong and vital faith
community.  I fully trust that You will provide in your own time that which is  necessary.  I
pray that  The way of God lies before me, God’s shield protect me, May God secure me
against the snares of the devil and against all his vices and temptations and the inclinations
of nature and all who wish me ill.   May Christ protect me today and always, May Christ be
with me, before me, behind me and in me.  May Christ be beneath me, above me, on my left
and on my right.  May Christ be in my breadth, my length and my height.  May Christ be in
the heart of everyone who thinks of me, the mouth of everyone who speaks of me, the eye of
everyone who sees me and the ear of everyone who hears me.  I acknowledge that my
salvation is in the hands of Almighty God.”  I ask you Almighty God that you will direct me
on the road you have chosen for me, and that you will send to me those lost children of
Yours so that I may guide them back into your Fold, so that there is only one shepherd, You
Almighty God,and one flock.  Amen
