Heavenly Father,
through your Holy Spirit you inspired Joseph De Piro to gather around him missionaries full of enthusiasm to preach the Good News of your Son among people who lacked messengers of the Gospel.
As we thank you for your faithfulness with our Society throughout the years, we ask you to continue filling us, Paulist Missionaries, with your Spirit so that in communion, we continue to carry on the mission entrusted to us.
Inspire courageous young men and women to offer their lives for this ministry, so that the Gospel of your Son may reach the ends of the earth. We also ask you to encourage young people to explore religious vocations with the MSSP.
Reward all relatives, benefactors and friends who share in this ministry of evangelisation with your abundant blessings.
We make our prayer through the intercession of Mary Assumed into heaven and the Apostle Paul, through Christ our Lord, whose Gospel we preach.
Amen.
