Praying for Father OM, who is from the UK, and will soon be transferred to the US~
Dear Lord,
We pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around Your priests, and through her intercession, strengthen them for their ministry. We pray that Mary will guide Your priests to follow her own words, “Do whatever He tells you.” (John 2:5) May Your priests have the heart of St. Joseph, Mary’s most chaste spouse. May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart inspire them to embrace all who suffer at the foot of the Cross. May Your priests be holy, filled with the fire of Your love, seeking nothing but Your greater glory and the salvation of souls. Amen.
Praying for the wellness of the priest in his organization who suffers from a sudden illness, from Philippians 1: 3-6 (Douay-Rheims)~
I give thanks to my God in every remembrance of you: Always in all my prayers making supplication for you all with joy: For your communication in the gospel of Christ, from the first day unto now. Being confident of this very thing: that he who hath begun a good work in you will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.
Amen.
and praying for the priest who will replace him in the UK~
Jesus, meek and humble of heart, give all priests Thy spirit of humility;
Jesus, poor and worn out for souls, give all priests Thy spirit of zeal;
Jesus, full of patience and mercy for sinners, give all priests Thy spirit of compassion;
Jesus, victim for the sins of the world, give all priests Thy spirit of sacrifice;
Jesus, lover of the little and the poor, give all priests Thy spirit of charity.
Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us;
and obtain for us numerous and holy priests and religious. + Amen.
