Among my collection envelopes for my parish, there is a Burse Club envelope that I have ignored, mostly because I was unfamiliar with the term. When I googled Burse Club, I found the following prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, eternal high priest, manifest in
our local Church the Spirit whom you also
abundantly bestowed on your apostles. Call many young men from our
parishes for service as priests. May zeal for your glory and for the
salvation of souls inflame those you have chosen. May they be holy men
who will be strengthened by your Spirit. May they be priests according
to your heart. Amen
As I read this, I felt the last three sentences (sans "men") applied
to all of us. I pray it for all. May you and I act as lay
priests to one another, being Christ for one another, encouraging and
comforting one another, giving one another peace.
Peace I leave you.
May we all bring more peace into the new year 2012.
