With thanksgiving to God, today on this Solemnity of St. Joseph, I am blessed to celebrate thirty-four years of ordination to the Sacred Priesthood. In your goodness, please offer a prayer for me, as I pray for you. Blessed St. Joseph's Day to all! Holy Father, Who, by no merit of my own, chose me for communion with the eternal Priesthood of Your Christ, and for the ministry of Your Church, grant that I may be an ardent yet gentle preacher of the Gospel and a faithful steward of Your mysteries. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Roman Missal, Collect from the Mass for the Priest on the Anniversary of His Ordination)
