“O Priests, you bright candles enlightening human souls, let your brightness never be dimmed.” Amen.
  • aspiration of St. Faustina
 
**O Jesus, only Son of God, only Son of Mary,
I offer Thee the most loving Heart of Thy divine Mother
which is more precious and pleasing to Thee than all hearts.

O Mary, Mother of Jesus,
I offer Thee the most adorable Heart of Thy well-beloved Son,
who is the life and love and joy of Thy Heart.

Blessed be the Most Loving Heart
and Sweet Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ
and the most glorious
Virgin Mary, His Mother,
in eternity and forever.

Amen.**

"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."
(*Straight from the Heart *by Rev. Fr. Mario Jose C. Ladra)

O Virgin Mary, Queen of the Clergy,
protect and guide our priests. Amen.

O Blessed Lady of the Tears,
we entrust and consecrate the priesthood
to your Immaculate Heart!
During this time of trial and suffering,
we pray that you renew the priesthood
by making priests holy
in imitation of the Heart of the Good Shepherd.
We pray in reparation for the sins of the priesthood
and we pray for all victims of their sins.
Grant, O Lady of the Tears,
an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
on the priests
that they may be authentic witnesses
of your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.
May we wipe away your tears
by comforting your Immaculate Heart
by praying the rosary
and adoring the Heart of Jesus your Son
in the Most Holy Eucharist
present in every Catholic Church in the world.
Give all priests and seminarians
a deep love and devotion to Jesus
in the Eucharist and to you,
their loving Mother.
Grant that every priest and seminarian
will daily spend one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist
and daily pray your most holy rosary!
Grant all priests and seminarians the gift of purity,
the gift of chastity
and the gift of the divine love of your Son.
May they proclaim the truth without fear,
with love and with courage!
We ask all of our prayers through the Tears
which you shed at the foot of the cross
of Jesus Christ your Son
who lives and reigns with the Father
and the Holy Spirit!

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.

Lord our God,

you have manifested your glory in the world;
give to baptized people

the signs of your presence.

Awaken in the hearts of many young people
the desire to consecrate their lives
to announce the Good News
of your love
as priests, deacons,
monks or nuns,
religious brothers or sisters,
missionaries or consecrated lay people.

Then, called to recognize you
in every human face
in this world,
we shall see your glory,
and that of your beloved Son,
full of grace and truth.

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.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
By Msgr. Gilles Gazabon, O.M.I.,
Bishop of Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Canada

Lord, keep them in your love!

Virgin Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd,
in you we come to praise our Almighty Father
for his loving design for the Church.
We entrust unto you, Mary,
who were standing at the foot of th cross [John 19:25],
the Church, the pope, the bishops and all the priests:
offer them to Jesus Eucharist;
support them in joys and in bad situations;
make them radiate with Jesus’ merciful love.
May the pastors challenge people:
so that, by looking at them, they feel Jesus’ love;
and that they draw to Him many vocations.
Thus all those who, with them, feel called to follow Jesus,
can say as you did, Mary:
“May it be to me as you have said” [Luke 1:38b].
And may all believe and sing the praises of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

"O Jesus, Eternal Priest,
keep Your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart,
where none may touch them.
Keep unstained their anointed hands
which daily touch Your Sacred Body.
Keep unsullied their lips
daily purpled with Your Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their hearts
sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.
Let Your holy love surround them
and shield them from the world’s contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant fruit,
and may the souls to whom they minister
be their joy and consolation here,
and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.
Amen."

(St. Therese of the Child Jesus)

*O Virgin Mary, Queen of the Clergy,
protect and guide our priests. Amen.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for us. Amen.*
 
O Jesus, keep them all close to your Heart, bless and protect them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us and obtain for us many faithful and holy priests

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
