God our Father, we praise You for the great mercy You have shown by sending priests to shepherd us, to preach Your holy word, to bring us new life in Christ, to nourish, forgive, heal and strengthen us through the sacraments of Your Church. We thank you for the gift of Fr. Alfredo Rolón’s priesthood, and for all that we and so many others have received through Fr. Rolón’s generous self-giving service.
Open our hearts now to the joy of Your Spirit as we listen to your holy word and praise You for the gift of our beloved Pastor. We make this prayer in the name of Jesus, the Eternal High Priest, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
