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, keep them all close to your Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.

Heavenly Father, protect and bless our priests, give them compassion, understanding, let them minister Your Sacraments and Your Grace in a spirit of Love and protect them under the patronage of our Blessed Mother.
