Jesus our Savior, your Sacred Heart felt compassion when you looked upon the crowd and saw that they were like sheep without a shepherd. We know that the harvest of souls is abundant but the laborers few, so we ask you, the master of the harvest, to send out more laborers. Open my heart and the hearts of my brothers and sisters to your will and raise up abundant faithful servants of the Gospel - devoted and holy priests, deacons, sisters, and brothers who will spend themselves for your people in the Diocese of Austin. May none of your flock, won at the price of your blood, be without a shepherd to guide them. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
