Please, will you all pray for our Priests, especially those who have been falsely accused, and for those who have lost their way. They have such an important ministry that we lay people need so much, and they have so much of a battle on their hands, from outside the Church and also from Within. Please say this prayer for them.

                                           A Prayer for Priests

                             Keep them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord,
                                Keep them, for they are Thine -
                              Thy priests whose lives burn out before
                                  Thy consecrated shrine.
                             Keep them, for they are in the world,
                                  Though from the world apart;
                             When earthly pleasures tempt, allure,
                                  Shelter them in Thy heart.
                              Keep them, and comfort them in hours
                                  Of lonliness and pain,
                              When all their life of sacrifice
                                  For souls seems but in vain.
                               Keep them and remember Lord,
                                  They have no one but Thee,
                               Yet they have only human hearts,
                                   With human frailty.
                               Keep them as spotless as the Host,
                                   That daily they caress;
                               Their every thought and word and deed,
                                    Deign dearest Lord to bless.
 
Beautiful prayer.

A Prayer for Priests

Keep them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord,
Keep them, for they are Thine -
Thy priests whose lives burn out before
Thy consecrated shrine.
Keep them, for they are in the world,
Though from the world apart;
When earthly pleasures tempt, allure,
Shelter them in Thy heart.
Keep them, and comfort them in hours
Of loneliness and pain,
When all their life of sacrifice
For souls seems but in vain.
Keep them and remember Lord,
They have no one but Thee,
Yet they have only human hearts,
With human frailty.
Keep them as spotless as the Host,
That daily they caress;
Their every thought and word and deed,
Deign dearest Lord to bless.
 
A Prayer for Priests
by John J Cardinal Carberry

Keep them; I pray Thee, dearest Lord.
Keep them, for they are Thine
The priests whose lives burn out before
Thy consecrated shrine.

Keep them, for they are in the world,
Though from the world apart.
When earthly pleasures tempt, allure -
Shelter them in Thy heart.

Keep them and comfort them in hours
Of loneliness and pain,
When all their life of sacrifice
For souls seems but in vain.

Keep them and remember, Lord,
they have no one but Thee.
Yet, they have only human hearts,
With human frailty.

Keep them as spotless as the Host,
That daily they caress;
Their every thought and word and deed,
Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.

  • Amen.
Remember, O most loving Heart of Jesus,
that they for whom I pray are those for whom You prayed so earnestly the night before Your death. These are they to whom You look to continue with You in Your sorrows when others forsake You, who share Your griefs and have inherited Your persecutions, according to Your word: That the servant is not greater than his Lord.

Remember, O Heart of Jesus,
that they are the objects of the world’s hatred and Satan’s deadliest snares. Keep them then, O Jesus, in the safe citadel of Your Sacred Heart and there let them be sanctified in truth. May they be one with You and one among themselves, and grant that multitudes may be brought through their word to believe in You and love You. Amen.

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
