Lord God, merciful Father, 

look with benevolence on 

us members of the Calabrian Family; 

fill us with your Spirit 

to respond faithfully to your call. 

Lord, preserve us always

in your love, 

through the intercession 

of the Immaculate Virgin Mary, 

St. Joseph,

St. John Calabria 

and all our patrons.

Grant us brothers, sisters and laity 

with the apostolic spirit 

that united in only one family 

we may believe in you and your Word. 

Grant that free from all earthly worries,

with full trust in your Providence 

and in communion with those who represent you, 

we may be ready to do your will 

and suffer with Christ so that the souls 

may welcome your holy Kingdom.

Send, O Lord, your Holy Spirit
so that we can accept the signs of communion which,

through the General Chapters
of the brothers and sisters
You make sprout

in the Opera and in the Church.

Amen.
