JUBILEE PRAYER OF SEAT OF WISDOM SEMINARY,
OWERRI
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| God ever-loving Father,
Down through the ages through the institution of the seminary,
You have raised up for your Church
Priests after your own heart.
As we prepare to celebrate the silver jubilee of our seminary
We recall with gratitude your providence
That guided our first beginnings
From our temporary to our present and permanent site.
We ponder with amazement and thanksgiving
Your love that provided for us
Formators specially devoted to you
And to the care of this seminary
We ask you to bless our Pope and our Bishops,
Our parents and our benefactors.
Bless our seminary community and all who by your providence
Have been part of our journey these twenty-five years of grace.
We thank you for the bountiful harvest of priestly vocations in
Our local church.
We ask that you send us today, as in the past,
All the means we need for adequate formation
In our seminary.
Mother Mary, Seat of Wisdom,
Pray for us that the celebration of our jubilee
Will put renewed hearts in us
To be ever more responsive to our vocation and formation
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
