Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven.

Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
