A PRAYER FOR ALTAR SERVERS

Open my mouth,
O Lord, to bless your Holy Name
Cleanse my heart from
all evil and distracting thoughts,
Enlighten my understanding
and inflame my will that I may
serve more worthily at your holy altar
O Mary, Mother of Christ the High Priest,
obtain for me the most important grace of knowing
my vocation in life.
Grant me a true spirit of faith and humble
obedience so that I may ever behold the priest
as a representative of God
and willing follow him in
the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Christ.
Amen.
