Jesus, you called me to the ministry from the noisy wranglings of the law courts and the daunting responsibilities of public administration. In my former life I pursued my own interests, without thought of you. But you decided that you could re-shape me to be of service to you and your Church. You forgave my sins, and made me what I am. I was a lost soul when you called me, help me not to become a lost minister as well. (Ambrose of Milan)

Amen!
