PRAYER TO HONOR BROTHER JAMES WIRTH I

O God, Father of mercy, You aroused in the heart of

your servant, Brother James, the magnanimous readiness

for a constant fulfillment of Your Holy Will, and for the

joyful and self-sacrificing service to the young, the sick,

and those in need.

We humbly beseech You to let it me made manifest to

the world in our day, that his life and work were pleasing

to You.

Let us imitate his example of generosity and self-sacrifice

with unceasing effort.  Send us worthy men to carry on the

work entrusted to us by our founder, for your greater honor

and glory. 

Amen.
