I BID YOU TO PRAY FOR ALL OUR ACOLYTES:

LORD JESUS CHRIST--

WE ASK YOUR BLESSING UPON THESE YOUNG PEOPLE, AND WE THANK THEM FOR THEIR MANY HOURS OF SERVICE AT YOUR ALTAR.

AS THEY LIGHT THE CANDLES IN YOUR HOLY HOUSE, GIVE THEM HUMBLENESS OF HEART.

WHEN THEY CARRY YOUR GOSPEL NEWS, STIR THEM TO BE LIKE YOU.

WHILE THEY HOLD YOUR PRECIOUS VESSELS, INSTILL IN THEM THE ASSURANCE OF OUR SACRIFICE AND LOVE.

AND AS THEY CARRY YOUR CROSS WITH DIGNITY, LET THEM ALSO CARRY IT WITH JOY--BEING RESURRECTION PEOPLE--READY TO WALK INTO THE WORLD TO SHARE THE GOOD TIDINGS YOU HAVE TO PROCLAIM TO ALL PEOPLE.

WE THANK THEM, FATHER.

HOLD THEM AND BLESS THEM ALWAYS.  
AMEN
