“O God…so that he may stand worthily and blamelessly before your holy altar, preach the Gospel of Your Kingdom, sanctify the word of Your truth, offer these spiritual sacrifices, and renew Your people in the bath of rebirth, in order that he also, at the time of the Second Coming of the great God, and Savior Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son, may meet Him and receive the reward of good stewardship in His office, in the fullness of Your goodness.” – prayer of Ordination of a Priest.
Wishing all the priests a blessed Feast of Holy Priesthood!
