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” (Jn 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.
St. John Vianney, pray for us.
 
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 lives of sacrifice
for souls seems but in van.

Keep them, and O 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 thoughts and word and deed,
Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.

Heavenly Father, Mother Mary and St. Joseph… please take care and bless our priests…AMEN

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.

Remember, O most compassionate Virgin Mary, that never
was it known that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your assistance, or sought your intercession
was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we fly
unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, our Mother; to you we
come; before you we kneel sinful and sorrowful. O Mother
of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions, but in
your clemency hear and answer them. Amen.
 
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.
Amen.
 
O Jesus,
I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests;
for Your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for Your priests labouring at home
or abroad in distant mission fields;
for Your tempted priests;
for Your lonely and desolate priest;
for Your young priests;
for Your dying priests;
for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.
But above all I recommend 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;
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.

"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)

Eternal God,
please bless our priests,
who represent you on this earth.
Make them more greatly aware of the grace
that you pour out through them
when they minister the sacraments,
and help them to fall more deeply in love with You
after each and every Mass that they celebrate.
Please strengthen our priests,
who shepherd your flock,
when they are in doubt of their faith,
that they may be examples of your Truth
and guide us always on the path to you.
We ask these things of You our Eternal Priest.

Amen.

Divine Saviour Jesus Christ,
Thou are the Good Shepherd who gives His life for His sheep.
Oh, be in a very special way the Good Shepherd of those poor lost priests
who are also appointed by Thee to be leaders of Thy people,
but who have broken the oath of their holy ordination
and have become unfaithful to their exalted calling.
Bestow upon these poorest of the poor
the very fullness of that pastoral solicitude
with which Thou dost so faithfully seek the sheep that are lost!
Touch their hearts with the irresistible ray of grace
which emanates from Thine all-merciful love!
Enlighten their minds and strengthen their wills,
that they may turn away from all sin and error
and come back to Thy holy altar and to Thy people.
Amen.

O my God,
pour out in abundance Thy spirit of sacrifice upon Thy priests.
It is both their glory and duty to become victims,
to be burnt up for souls,
to live without ordinary joys,
to be often the objects of distrust,
injustice and persecution.
The words they say every day at the altar,
“This is my Body, this is my Blood”,
grant them to apply to themselves,
“I am no longer myself,
I am Jesus, Jesus crucified.
I am, like the bread and wine,
a substance no longer itself but by consecration another”.
O my God, I burn with the desire for the sanctification of Thy priests.
I wish all the priestly hands which touch Thee
were hands whose touch is gentle and pleasing to Thee,
that all the mouths uttering such sublime words at the altar
should never descend to speaking trivialities.
Let priests in all their person
stay at the level of their lofty funcions,
let every man find them simple and great,
like the Holy Eucharist,
accessible to all yet above the rest of men.
O my God, grant them to carry with them from the Mass of today
a thirst for the Mass of tomorrow,
and grant them, laden themselves with gifts,
to share these abundantly with their fellow-men.

Amen.
