Altar Server's Prayer: Open my mouth, O Lord, to bless your Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all evil and distracting thoughts. Enlighten my understanding and inflame my will that I may serve more worthily at you holy altar.
O Mary Mother of Christ the High Priest, obtain for me the most important grace of knowing my vocation life. Grant me a true spirit of faith and humble obedience so that I may ever behold the priest as a representative  of  God and willing follow him in the Way and Truth, and the Life of Christ Amen. Catholic Prayer: Yenra

I, Paul, appointed by God to be an apostle, together with brother Sosthenes, send greetings to the church of God in Corinth, to the holy people of Jesus Christ, for he is their Lord no less than ours. May God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ send you grace and peace.
I never stop thanking God for all the graces you have received through Jesus Christ. I thank him that you have been enriched in so many ways, especially in your teachers and preachers; the witness of Christ has indeed been strong among you so that you will not be without any of the gifts of the Spirit while you are waiting for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed; and he will keep you steady and without blame until the last day, the day of our Lord Jesus Christ, because God by calling you has joined you to his Son, Jesus Christ; and God is faithful. 

Jesus said to his disciples: 'Stay awake, because you do not know the day when your master is coming. You may be quite sure of this, that if the householder had known at what time of the night the burglar would come, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed anyone to break  through the wall of his house.  Therefore, you too must stand ready because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect. 
'What sort of servant, then, is faithful and wise enough for the
 master to place him over his household to give them their food at the proper time? Happy that servant if his master's arrival finds him at this employment. I tell you solemnly, he will place him over everything he owns. But as for the dishonest servant who says to himself, "My master is taking his time," and sets about beating his fellow servants and eating and drinking with drunkards, his master will come on a day he does not expect and at an hour he does not know: The master will cut him off and send him to the same fate as the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.'
