Heavenly Father,
we thank You for calling Deacon Timothy Soo to the gift of the priesthood.
As he prepares to offer his life in deeper service to Christ and the Church,
we lift him up to You with love and gratitude.
Grant him a heart rooted in prayer,
hands made ready for the sacraments,
and a spirit open to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.
May he walk in humility and courage,
finding strength in the Cross and joy in Your will.
United as a parish family, we entrust Deacon Timothy
to Your care and protection.
O Jesus, we surrender Deacon Timothy to You.
Take care of everything!
Amen
