DECEMBER 16 BLESSED CLEMENTE MARCHISIO. Today's prayer

LORD JESUS,
master of truth and life,
that you have granted to your Church
in Blessed Clement Marchisio
a model of priestly holiness,
through his intercession give us
soul shepherds filled with your Spirit,
strong in Faith,
faithful in the service of God and brothers.

MARY,
Mother of the Church,
that you were help and consolation
in every life affair
to Blessed Clement Marchisio,
through his intercession
assure us in life and in death
serenity and peace.

JOSEPH,
guardian of the treasures of God,
which invoked with unlimited confidence
by Blessed Clement Marchisio,
you were the guide in pastoral care
and in the foundation of the Institute
«Daughters of St. Joseph»
to glory of the ss. Eucharist,
let us live in fullness and fidelity
our religious vocation
communicating to prayers and ideals
of the blessed Founder.
Amen.
