Optional Memorial of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, Virgin and Martyr
Lord Jesus, it was by the will of your Father that you suffered for us, and for our salvation that you ascended into heaven. Still, you have left us guides to our salvation. Guide your clergy always Lord Jesus, and protect them against the failings which afflict so many others. Amen.
