Almighty God, the giver of all good gifts, who of your divine providence has appointed various orders in your Church: Give your grace, we humbly beseech you, to the Revs. Mel Soriano, Jonathan Timothy Stoner, and Joshua Wong, ordained and consecrated as priests this morning at St. John’s Cathedral in the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles; and so fill them with the truth of your doctrine and clothe them with holiness of life, that they may faithfully serve before you, to the glory of your great Name and for the benefit of your holy Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
— Book of Common Prayer
