Lord Jesus Christ,
who for the salvation of all people,
founded your Church
in the Blood of Sacrifice,
look with mercy on this land of ours
where Your truth is unknown to many
for whom You endured
Your passion and death.
We commend to Your Sacred Heart
the work of carrying Your gospel
to the mission regions of America.
Raise up holy and zealous apostles
to bring Your words of salvation
to souls now thirsting for the truth.
Have mercy on them, Lord,
and send shepherds to lead them into Your one true fold. Amen!
Our Lady of the Fields,
pray for them.
Saint Joseph, friend of forgotten souls,
pray for them.
Holy Apostles and Martyrs,
pray for them.
Holy Confessors and Virgins,
pray for them.
That through our labors we may hope to win for them the Divine gift of faith.
Amen.
— Father William Howard Bishop Founder of Glenmary, 1939.
O LOVING FATHER, may your Spirit
guide our missionary service.
Like Jesus, may we proclaim
the reign of God is at hand.
Like Peter, may we fall on our knees
at the sight of your great catch.
Like Paul, may we strive to share
the Gospel with all people.
Like Isaac Jogues and Companions,
may we willingly sacrifice our lives in
service to the people of rural America.
O CREATOR OF ALL, give us courage
to leave the ninety-nine
and go after the lost one.
Grant us the joy to rejoice
over the found one.
Compel us to care
for the victims we find along the road.
Move us to embrace
the prodigal’s returning home.
We ask this through your Son,
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Our Lady of the Fields,
The Seed of your womb
Is the Hope of the earth.
Help us sow this Seed
To all those in need.
In the soil of sorrow,
Help us sow fields of comfort.
In the dry ground of discrimination,
Help us sow fields of rich harmony.
In the hard clay of doubt and despair,
Help us sow abundant fields of hope and care.
O Mary,
Our Lady of the Fields,
Patroness of Glenmary,
Pray for us.
Amen.
