The Year of the Priest Prayer Holy Cure of Ars you have become an outstanding model for the priests of the whole world. Give our priests a love for the Church, apostolic zeal and steadfastness in trials. Awaken in the hearts of young people an awareness of the splendour of the priesthood and the joy of responding to the call of the Good Shepherd. St John Vianney intercede for us to God. Through you, humble and faithful pastor, may we be granted an abundance of priestly vocations to serve the people of our diocese. AMEN
