*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. *Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen

Almighty God,
look upon the face of Him who is the eternal High Priest,
and have compassion on Your priests in today’s world.
Remember that they are but weak and frail human beings.
Stir up in them the grace of their vocation.
Keep them close to You lest the enemy prevail against them,
so that they may never do anything
in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.

O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests,
for the unfaithful and tepid ones;
for those laboring at home and abroad
in distant mission fields;
for those who are tempted;
for those who are lonely and desolate;
for those who are 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 who instructed me or helped me by their encouragement.
I pray devoutly for all the priests
to whom I am indebted in any other way,
in particular for Father T.
O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.

Amen.

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

Amen.

A Prayer for Priests
By St. Therese of Lisieux

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.

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for them!

O Jesus, Eternal High Priest,
live in Father T
act in him,
speak in and through him.
Think your thoughts in his mind,
love through his heart.
Give him your own dispositions and feelings.
Teach, lead and guide him always.
Correct, enlighten and expand his thoughts and behavior.
Possess his soul;
take over his entire personality and life.
Replace him with yourself.
Incline him to constant adoration and thanksgiving;
pray in and through him.
Let him live in you
and keep him in intimate union always.
O Mary, Immaculate Conception,
Mother of Jesus and Mother of priests,
pray and intercede for Father T.

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.

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.

Ven. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen an excellent example to Priests & all,
Please pray to the Lord JESUS,
for Holy prayer and works in Knights of Columbus,
Good Counsel, Human Life International, Paternal & Maternal Homes,
Priests For Life, Missionaries of The Poor, Missionaries of Charity,
and 40 Days For Life & Protectors of God’s Precious Infants.
May John Cardinal O’Connor’s Edict that any father and mother
with child, in the family way go to any Catholic Church for help
be widely known. Fr. Pavone exhorted the same thing for all houses
of mercy.
Pray for us.
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."

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

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.
