It is with great joy that we share that MODG Graduate, Martin Begley will be ordained to the priesthood on Saturday, May 17th at 10 AM at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

Please join the MODG staff in praying for Martin as he enters into his vocation!

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of our priests.
Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help our priests to be strong in their vocation.
Set their souls on fire with love for your people.

Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel.
Allow them to experience joy in their ministry.

Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen.
