Eternal Priest and Good Shepherd, we thank you for your gracious gift of the St. Thomas Syro-Malabar Diocese in North America and for its bishop.  Lord of mercy, guide and protect our bishop, priests, religious, and lay people.  Fill them with your gifts to work in accordance with your holy will.  Lord God, bless all our families and our benefactors to grow in deep faith, fervent hope, ardent love, and Christian unity.  Lord of Harvest, please call young people from our families to minister in your Church. 

Lord, help us to fulfill your will following the example and intercession of the Blessed Mother, St. Thomas the Apostle, Blessed Kuriakose Chavara, Blessed Alphonsa, and Blessed Mariam Thresia and finally enable us to join in your glory.  Lord of all, forever, Amen.
