"O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home
or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your lonely and desolate priests;
for your young priests;
for your aged priests;
for your sick priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in purgatory.

But above all, I commend to you
the priests dearest to me;
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted
and who gave me your Body and Blood in holy communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me
or helped and encouraged me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted
in any other way.

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly
in time and in eternity. Amen."

My Dear Jesus,
you desire that we pray the Lord of the harvest
that He send zealous laborers into His harvest.
Deign to raise up in your Church,
and especially in this diocese,
numerous and holy priests who,
taking your Divine Heart as their Model,
will, in the exercise of their holy priesthood,
promote the glory of your heavenly Father
and the salvation of those souls
whom you have redeemed with your Precious Blood.
Give us truly holy priests who,
inflamed with the fire of your Divine love,
seek nothing but your greater glory
and the salvation of souls.

O Mary, Queen of the clergy,
pray for us;
obtain for us a number of holy priests.

God our Father,
you reveal your omnipotence
in the superabundance of your mercy,
poured forth into the world
through the sacred wounds of your Son
and our Redeemer.

We ardently pray that your sacred ministers
may be clear reflections of your mercy.
May they, with every word and deed of their life,
illumine humanity,
disoriented by sin,
and bring it back to you,
who are Love.

We ask this, Father,
through your Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
forever and ever.

Amen.

Receive, Holy Father,
this Immaculate Host,
the Spirit of Sacrifice.
O my God,
pour it in its plenitude over your priests.
It is their glory as well as their duty
to consume themselves for souls;
to be victims,
to live,
to suffer often the scorn,
contempt and injustice of persecution.
May they contemplate what they say each day at the altar,
“This is My Body.”
May they apply it to themselves,

“I am no longer me,
I am Jesus,
in Jesus crucified.
I am as the Bread and Wine,
a substance consecrated
which has ceased to be itself.”

O my God,
I burn with the desire of the sanctification of your priests.
I desire that the hands that touch you
be loving and gentle;
and that the lips which pronounce at the altar
the Words so sublime
do not lower themselves to trivial formulas.
May they keep within them
the attitude of their noble function.
May everyone find them simple
and great like the Host,
accessible to all
and superior to others.

O make that they carry from the Mass of today
the thirst of the Mass of tomorrow.
May they pour themselves out
on what they do;
may they have the grace to communicate it
in its fullness to others.
Amen.
 
Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve:
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious Advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us,
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS TO MARY

Mother of our Redeemer,
in this era dedicated to you,
with great joy we call you blessed.
You believed in the Word of God the Father
and declared yourself His handmaid,
and so, through you,
the Word became flesh,
and dwelt among us.
We salute you as Mother, our Mother,
the Mother of the Church.
With what great love
you must have watched over the infant Church
and what motherly solicitude
encouraged the apostles
as they committed themselves
to carry on the work of Your Divine Son on earth.
Make the Church ever
to be the sign and instrument
of intimate union with God.

To you, our Mother,
we entrust in a special way our Bishop
and the priests of our diocese.
To them has been given a special sharing
in the priesthood of Your Divine Son.
He has chosen them to be ministers
of His Word and Sacraments.
Ask Him to fill them with zeal,
to keep them faithful and joyful in His service,
conscious of the fact that they care
and so bring glory to the Father
and honor to the Church.

Holy Mother, increase the ranks of our priests
by inspiring our young people
to be more generous in their response to serve Jesus
in the priesthood and in religious life.

Sustain all of us, O Virgin Mary,
on our journey of faith
and obtain for us the grace of eternal salvation.
Amen.
 
A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
John Cardinal O’Connor

Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for OUR needs. We pray for them in THEIR needs.

We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood. You have consecrated them, set them aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive, and to feed us with Your Body and Blood.

Yet we know, too, that they are one with us and share our human weaknesses. We know too that they are tempted to sin and discouragement as are we, needing to be ministered to, as do we, to be consoled and forgiven, as do we. Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they understand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith.

We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits. And let them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic bread.

We pray to You, O Lord, through Mary the mother of all priests, for Your priests and for ours. Amen.
 
Heavenly Father,
grant that our priests
be strengthened and healed by the
power of the Eucharist they celebrate.
May the Word they proclaim give them
courage and wisdom.

We pray that all those whom they
seek to serve may see in them
the love and care of Jesus,
our Eternal High Priest, who is Lord
for ever and ever. Amen

Mary, Mother of the Church,
Look tenderly upon your sons, our priests.

Joseph, patron of the Universal Church,
pray for us all.

St. John Vianney, patron of parish priests, pray for them.

Heavenly Father,
I come to pray to you for our priests:
our priests working in parishes or residence of retired people,
our priests teaching at the seminary or at the university,
our priests working in the diocesan offices,
our priests in foreign missions,
our religious priests.

Heavenly Father,
I glorify your holy name,
I praise you,
I thank you for these men
whom you have given us as spiritual leaders,
these men responsible for our Christian communities,
our parish activities.

Heavenly Father,
I know that, just like us,
they have their questions,
their doubts, their hesitations.
They say before their ordination and again after it:
“Do I really have this vocation?”
“Am I truly at the right place?”
“Will I be able to preach, for I am shy?”
“Shall I be able to pray my divine office
with the load of activities?”
“Am I not following a human ambition?”
Be with them, Father,
support them,
give them your strength,
your Holy Spirit.

Heavenly Father,
our priests say they are unworthy of your calling.
And they are right, for no one is worthy of it.
Yet you have chosen them for the common good.
Inspire them, calm their hesitations, encourage them.
Let them know that they can always count on you,
that your love surrounds them,
that you are never far from them.

Heavenly Father,
our priests sometimes find their tasks heavy.
They may get discouraged.
They wonder if they can respond
to all the demands we ask from them.
Be yourself their strength,
their inspiration,
their assurance.
Give them a prayerful heart
for they need this intimacy with you,
for themselves and for others.

Heavenly Father,
our priests are not angels.
Some of them have even their tough sides.
All of them have times of fatigue,
of impatience, their dark hours.
Be yourself their light.
May your Holy Word lead them day by day.
Speak to them in their meditations
and their moments of reflection.

Heavenly Father,
our priests sometimes suffer of solitude.
They feel alone in their ministry.
It may seem to them that they can hardly endure
this heavy weight on their shoulders.
May the offering of our weekly day and our prayers,
to which we have committed ourselves as petals of Daisies,
relieve and help them somewhat.
But may your grace and strength
especially be their consolation,
their source of strength,
their support and their joy.

Thank you, heavenly Father,
for these men who are our priests.
May our prayers accompany them also every day.
Hear our prayers,
hear their prayers.
May we always give you thanks
for these spiritual leaders whom you send us.

Amen.
