Happy Birthday on March 13, Fr. Socorro!

Gracious and loving God, we thank you for the gift of Fr. Socorro.
Through him, we experience your presence in the sacraments.

Help him to be strong in his vocation.
Set his soul on fire with love for your people.

Grant Father the wisdom, understanding, and strength he needs to follow in the footsteps of Jesus.
Inspire him with the vision of your Kingdom.

Give him the words he needs to spread the Gospel.
Allow Fr. Socorro to experience joy in his ministry.

Help him to become instruments of your divine grace.

We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.

Amen.
