INTERCESSIONS Father God, we lift up to you today your servants of the Salesian community especially the priests and Salesian cooperators who work tirelessly and nurture young boys to give them the right foundation to become people with values and virtues so that in turn they may work for a better society. Grant them wisdom and discernment so that they always do your will in every decision and plans for the boys under their care. Strenghten them in spirit, mind and body Lord, that they may be always faithful to their calling as good shepherds. Bestow upon them an increased fruits and gifts of the Holy Spirit especially the gift of patience, understanding, knowledge, counsel and fortitude. In Jesus name through Mary help of Christians and intercession of St John Bosco. Amen! Christ is the Good Shepherd who laid down his life for his sheep. Let us praise and thank him as we pray: Nourish your people, Lord. Christ, you decided to show your merciful love through your holy shepherds, – let your mercy always reach us through them. Nourish your people, Lord. Through your vicars you continue to perform the ministry of shepherd of souls, – direct us always through our leaders. Nourish your people, Lord. Through your holy ones, the leaders of your people, you served as physician of our bodies and our spirits,– continue to fulfill your ministry of life and holiness in us. Nourish your people, Lord. You taught your flock through the prudence and love of your saints,– grant us continual growth in holiness under the direction of our pastors. Nourish your people, Lord. O God, who raised up the Priest Saint John Bosco as a father and teacher of the young, grant we pray, that, aflame with the same fire of love, we may seek out souls and serve you alone. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.– Amen.
