INTRODUCTORY RITES

(Commentator: Dear friends as we commence


this institute for seminary formators,
we invoke upon the Holy Spirit,
He who is the Primary Agent
of priestly formation, to be our Guide and
strength in the days ahead of us.
In this Eucharist, we call upon Him
to empower us with the sweet balm
of His love and grace in our important task
of seminary formation.
To lead us in our celebration is
His Excellency, Most Rev. Bernardino C.
Cortez, D.D., auxiliary bishop of Manila
and the bishop-in-charge of priestly
formation in the archdiocese of Manila.
Let us all stand as we begin our celebration.

I have failed to do; and I ask
blessed Mary, ever virgin, all the angels and
saints, and you, my brothers to pray for me
to the Lord our God.
