O Lord Jesus Christ, sublime model of all perfection, You are ever urging onward all privileged souls in their high aspiration toward the goal of religious life. At the same time, You also strengthen them so that they may be able to follow You in such a noble way of life.
Grant then that many, recognizing Your sweet inspirations, may have the will to correspond with them by embracing the religious state and so enjoy in it Your special care and tender love.
May there flourish in every place gardens of chosen souls who by contemplation and penance make reparation for the sins of men and invoke Your mercy upon them, especially at Our Lady of Solitude Monastery; grant to us committed, loving, and mature vocations.
Enlighten, O Lord Jesus Christ, many generous souls with the fiery glow of the Holy Spirit Who is substantial and eternal love. By the powerful intercession of Your most dear Mother Mary, stir up and preserve in them the fire of Your love, to the glory of the Father and the same Holy Spirit, Who together with You live and reign forever and ever. Amen. |
