O Lord Jesus Christ, Who alone art able to open the gates of Heaven, Who dost open our mind that we may understand the Scriptures, Who dost command by Thine own power the unclean spirits, Thou the Light of the world, which he that followeth walketh not in darkness; enflame the Ordinandi with the zeal of Thy house, that they may diligently care for it, and watch in it before Thee assiduously; open their eyes and direct their tongues, that they may read the law and doctrine of God distinctly and clearly for the understanding and edification of the faithful; crush Satan beneath their feet, and grant that their light may so shine before men, that they may see their good works, and glorify their Father Who is in Heaven.
℟. Amen.
