I pray you to turn the hearts and wills of the ministers of your Spouse the holy Church to you, so that they may follow behind you, sacrificed Lamb, poor humble and meek, on the way of the most holy cross, in your way, not theirs.
May they be angelic creatures, terrestrial angels in this life, for they have to minister to the Body of your one and Only son, the immaculate Lamb...
Unite them and bathe them, divine pity, in the calm sea of your goodness, so that they do not delay and lose what they have, for what they do not have.
