PRAYER FOR ANNIVERSARY OF PRIESTLY ORDINATION
Father of mercy, we come before You with gratitude on the anniversary of Your faithful servant, Rev. Monsignor John C. Eckert.
Praise and thanksgiving for him fervently tending the flock of God that is in his charge. (1Peter 5:2)
Because of the grace that has been given him in Christ Jesus, (1Corinthians 1:4) he has touched countless hearts and inspired so many souls.
Bless Monsignor Eckert abundantly for so generously sharing his God-given charismas and sharing the Good News - the joy of Jesus.
Please continue to shower him with the same abundant joy and zeal with which he has blessed so many in his priestly ministry. May Our Lady of Good Counsel intercede for him that he may be filled with wisdom, compassion, fortitude and fidelity as he continues to shepherd Your people.
May he never be afraid to speak the truth in love. (2 Timothy 1:8)
Amen.
