God, Father of mercy, in your goodness keep us your sons dedicated to the Church with a heart united through attentiveness to your word and enlightenment by the charism of Fr. Dehon.

Select and guide those brothers of ours who shall exercise the ministry of authority on our behalf in the fraternal quest for the will of God.

Send your spirit of love on us, your spirit of service and solidarity, to make us sensitive in faith in our response to the demands made of us by the world, to make us unyielding to the threats we face.

Let your son Jesus teach us to live for Him and not for ourselves, to be available as He was available, to commit ourselves - in the Dehonian Family and in the world - to the establishment of the Reign of his Heart in souls and in society. Amen

O God, Merciful Father
look with goodness upon your children
united in one heart around your Word
enlightened with the charism of Fr. Dehon for the Church.

Choose and guide our brothers
who exercise the ministry of authority
in the fraternal search for your will.

Send us your Spirit of love, of service and of solidarity
to arouse our faith to respond to the questions
of this world without yielding to the numerous fears
that threaten us.

May your son, Jesus, teach us to live
not for ourselves but rather for Him;
to be available according to his example;
and to commit ourselves to actualize
both in the Dehonian Family and in the world
the Reign of the Sacred Heart in souls and society. Amen
