Christ the Eternal High Priest
"O God, who for the glory of your majesty
and the salvation of the human race,
made your Only Begotten Son the Eternal High Priest, grant that, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, those whom he has chosen as ministers
and stewards of his mysteries
may be found faithful in carrying out the ministry
they have received.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."
– Collect for the Feast of Christ the Eternal High Priest, celebrated on the Thursday after Pentecost.
Icon from St Anthony's Greek Orthodox monastery in southern Arizona.
