Jesus, the Good Shepherd,,
You who did not give up on the lost sheep,
You who tended to your flock with
unconditional love and mercy,
You who gave hope to the outcasts in society,
We implore you to fill our shepherds with your spirit.
Grant them the courage to speak boldly when violence and injustice threaten to kill
our conscience.
Grant them the grace to embrace their mission to be salt and light of the earth when darkness and blandness of faith shroud the human spirit.
Grant them inner peace when evil forces plot to silence them.
When their burden becomes too heavy to bear, may they see your face in every being who struggles to follow your ways.
May they find comfort in your ever-abiding presence. Amen.
