Adapted from Prayer by Pope St. John Paul II in Pastores Dabo Vobis
Mother of Jesus Christ, you were with him at the beginning of his life and of his mission, you sought the Master among the crowd, you stood beside him when he was lifted up from the earth consumed as the one eternal sacrifice, and you had John close by you, your son; accept from the beginning those who have been called, protect their growth, accompany your sons in their life and in their ministry, O Mother of Priests.Â
Amen.
