Grant in like manner that there may never be wanting those angels of Your charity, who will represent You day and night at the cradle of the orphan, at the bedside of the suffering, be the side of the aged and the sick, who perhaps have no one on earth to whom they may look for sympathy and a helping hand. Grant that humble schools, like lofty pulpits, may ever re-echo Your voice, teaching the way to heaven and the duties proper to each one's state in life. May no land, ever so wild and remote, be deprived of the preaching of the Gospel, whereby the invitation is extended to all peoples to enter into Your Kingdom. Increase and multiply the flames which are to spread throughout the world that fire in which the immaculate holiness of Your church is to shine forth in all its splendor. May there flourish in every place gardens of chosen souls who by contemplation and penance make reparation for the sins of men and invoke Your mercy upon them. Grant that the continuous selfsacrifice of these hearts, the snow-white purity of these souls and their eminent virtues may keep ever alive the perfect example of the children of God which You did Will to make manifest to men by The coming into this world. To these armies of Your dearly beloved souls send a large number of good vocations, souls steadfast and firm in their resolve to make themselves worthy of their high calling and to become a credit to the holy institute to which they aspire, by exact religious observance, by diligence in prayer, by constant mortification and by the perfect conformity of their will with You in all things. Enlighten, O Lord Jesus, many generous sousl with the fiery glow of the Holy Spirit, who is substantial and eternal love, and by the powerful intercession of Your most dear Mother Mary, stir up and preserve in them the fire of Your love, unto the glory of the Father and the same Holy Spirit, who together with You live and reign for ever and ever. Amen. + Indulgence - 10 years; plenary on usual conditions said daily for one month. Imprimatur: Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, Dec 12, 1962.
