Fr. Mike and Fr. Adam begin their pilgrimages and they talk about a quote from St. John Vianney.

Act of Love

I love Thee, O my God. My only desire is to love Thee, until the last breath ot my life. I love Thee, O infinitely loveable God, and I prefer to die loving Thee, rather than to live for an instant without Thee. I love Thee, O my God, and I desire only to go to Heaven, to have the happiness of loving Thee perfectly. I love Thee, O my God, and my only fear is to go to Hell, because one will never have the sweet solace of loving Thee there. O my God, if my tongue cannot say at all times that I love Thee, at least I want my heart to repeat it to Thee! as many times as I breathe. Ah! Do me the grace to suffer while loving Thee, to love Thee while suffering, and, that when I die: I not only will love Thee, but experience it in my heart. I beg Thee that: the closer I come to my final end, Thou wilt increase and perfect my love for Thee. Amen.

Prayers of St. Thérèse of Lisieux for

Seminarians - Divine Jesus, listen to the prayer I am turning to you for he who wishes to be your missionary: protect him in the midst of dangers in the world; make him feel more and more the nothingness and vanity of fleeting things and happiness in knowing how to despise them for your love. Your sublime apostolate is already exerted over those who surround him: may he be an apostle, worthy of your Sacred Heart. Oh Mary, sweet Queen of Carmel, I entrust to you the soul of this future priest. Teach him from now with how much love you touched the Divine Child Jesus and how you wrapped him in swaddling clothes so that he one day might go up the Holy Altar and carry the King of Heaven in his hands. I ask you again to always protect him in the shade of your virginal mantle until the happy moment when, on leaving this valley of tears, he will be able to contemplate your splendor and enjoy the fruit of his glorious apostolate for the whole of eternity!

Priests - O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.
