** A Prayer For Our Priests**

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.
 
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.
Code: 
The following is not from above prayer.
Dear Ven. Bishop Fulton J. Sheen an excellent example to Priests & all,
Please pray to the Lord JESUS,
for help for Priests in leading in the following that help hearts and minds
be closer to Jesus or converted to Him or start being led by the Father to Him.
for Holy prayer and works in Priest led/aided Knights of Columbus,
Good Counsel, Human Life International, Paternal & Maternal Homes,
Priests For Life, Missionaries of The Poor, Missionaries of Charity,
Cross Catholic Outreach, Catholic Care Centers and hospitals,
Ecumenical Personhood USA and 40 Days For Life & Protectors of
God’s Precious Infants, and many more.
as
you always pray for the proclaiming of the Gospel helping the poor.
May John Cardinal O’Connor’s verbal 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 Mother of Jesus Christ,
you were with him at the beginning
of his life and mission,
you sought the Master among the crowd,
you stood beside him when he was lifted up from the earth
consumed as the one eternal sacrifice,
and you had John, your son, near at hand;
accept from the beginning those who have been called,
protect their growth,
in their life ministry accompany your sons,
O Mother of Priests.
Amen.
 
O Divine Love, we come before You to pray and intercede for our priests that they may become the living presence of Your love among us.

O Divine Love, enter and take complete possession of their hearts that all their affections may be toward charity.

O Divine Love, enter and be ever first in their minds that all their thoughts may be charitable.

O Divine Love, enlighten their intellects that they may always discern that which is most charitable.

O Divine Love, imbue all their words that they may always speak that which is most charitable and encouraging.

O Divine Love, inhabit their wills that they may always will and do that which is most charitable.

O Divine Love, animate all their senses and movements that they may only hear and see with Your senses and always respond with Your charity.

O Divine Love, penetrate to the very core of their souls, consume all their darkness, until You, O Divine Love, are able to radiate pure love through them to all they meet.

O Mary, Mother of Divine Love, pray for our priests.

Ô Jésus, Éternel souverain Prêtre,
gardez vos prêtres sous la protection de votre Sacré-Cœur,
où personne ne peut leur faire de mal.

Gardez sans tache leurs mains consacrées,
qui touchent chaque jour votre Corps sacré.
Gardez pures leurs lèvres,
qui sont empourprées de votre Précieux Sang.
Gardez pur et détaché leur cœur,
qui est marqué du sceau sublime de votre glorieux Sacerdoce.

Faites-les grandir dans l’amour et la fidélité envers Vous ;
protégez-les de la contamination de l’esprit du monde.
Donnez-leur avec le pouvoir de changer le pain et le vin,
le pouvoir de changer les cœurs.
Bénissez leurs travaux par des fruits abondants,
donnez-leur un jour la couronne de la Vie éternelle.
Ainsi soit-il.

-Sainte Thérèse de Lisieux (1873-1897)

The health of Fr. Pacwa, all the Priest here, EWTN, Fr. Mike of Catholic Net,
and the others with wide reaching ministries.
And all Your Faithfully departed Priests such as Bishop James.
In Jesus’ Holy Name,
Amen.

Prayer for Priests

Father, show your tender love to your priests, these “religious leaders” who risk to make the sacred commonplace. Inspire them with a deep sense of your Mystery which they touch, and about which they speak. May they always remember that you have created all things in your image and likeness; that everything has in itself a divine spark; that all things come from you as their source and will return to you as their definitive and eternal destination. When preaching or praying they say words which they do not entirely understand; when blessing, forgiving, consecrating they do things of which they have no power in themselves. May your priests always be mindful that they act in your name, that the power they exercise comes from you alone and not from themselves. Grant them the gift of humility in their service; may they be strong in faith, firm in hope, perfect in love, holy in you and sanctifying for your People. You have given to your priests a sacred vocation; purify them, sanctify them, strengthen them. You have made them representatives of your only Son Jesus and given them responsibilities towards your People, the Church; support them with your strength.
May they always be aware that you are with them and act in them. May they be your instruments of love, reconciliation, spiritual renewal, sanctification.

Your priests are human, weak, and sinners like all other people. You knew it even before you called them to your service. Nevertheless, you destined them in their place in your plan of love; be always with your chosen ones and help them. May the gift of your grace renew them day after day. May your holy angel guard and protect them. Bestow on them the joy of the Holy Spirit, to be a prophetic voice in the world, to guide your People, to speak the words of the Good News of your kingdom, to dispense the grace of the New Covenant, to provide spiritual freedom, to be canals of your divine mercy, pathways of your love and tenderness, collaborators of the eternal High Priest. Make them men of prayer, commitment, adoration, intimacy with you, men who act under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, stimulators on the way to salvation. I pray to you, Father, through Jesus the Messiah and in the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

. Prayer for Our Priests

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.
I know that, just like us, they have their questions, their doubts, their hesitations.
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.
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.
