O Almighty, Eternal God, look upon the Face of your Son and for love of him, who is the Eternal High Priest, have pity on your priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the bishop’s hands. Keep them close to you, lest the enemy prevails against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.
Amen.
 
O Lord,
Thank you for Your Priests.
You always watch out for them and protect their Holy Office.
You brought the Church through many ordeals.
You know their needs so very well, you know each of them
through and through just like anyone else.
Help them in each of their circumstances.
I now pray for Fr. Ed, Fr. Brady, Fr. Joe, Fr. John, Fr. Perry, Msgr. Hodge,
Fr. Diaz, Fr. Nicolas, Fr. Cal, Fr. Harte, Msgr. Coyne, Fr. Joe Rush,
Fr. Ron and so many who have help me personally, and all Priests. Also, Pope Francis,
Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Bishop Sullivan, and Bishop Daniel of Peoria.
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.

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.

"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."

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

Praise to you, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
for in your infinite love
you care for your people
by the ministry of priests.
May their faithful service
bring lasting good to your Church
and great happiness to them.
Help them to do what is right,
that by their teaching and living
we may grow in the knowledge of your love.
As our priests instruct your people,
enlighten them with the wisdom of Christ the Teacher.
As they preach your Word and celebrate the sacraments,
sanctify them with the holiness of Christ the High Priest.
As they face weakness, suffering and discouragement,
strengthen them with the grace of Christ the Life-Giver.
As they work for peace, unity and healing in your Church,
uphold them with the courage of Christ the Reconciler.
Giver of all good gifts,
make the ministry of our priests
a spiritual offering pleasing to you,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 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.

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.

The Beautiful Hands of a Priest
(poem by an unknown author)

We need them in life’s early morning,
We need them again at its close;
We feel their warm clasp of true friendship,
We seek them when tasting life’s woes.
At the altar each day we behold them,
And the hands of a king on his throne
Are not equal to them in their greatness;
Their dignity stands all alone;
And when we are tempted and wander,
To pathways of shame and of sin,
It’s the hand of a priest that will absolve us,
Not once, but again and again.
And when we are taking life’s partner,
Other hands may prepare us a feast,
But the hand that will bless and unite us
Is the beautiful hand of a priest.
God bless them and keep them all holy,
For the Host which their fingers caress;
When can a poor sinner do better
Than to ask Him to guide thee and bless?
When the hour of death comes upon us,
May our courage and strength be increased,
By seeing raised over us in blessing
The beautiful hands of a priest.
Amen.
 
O Lord,
Thank you for Your Priests.
You always watch out for them and protect their Holy Office.
You brought the Church through many ordeals.
You know their needs so very well, you know each of them
through and through just like anyone else.
Help them in each of their circumstances.
I now pray for Fr. Ed, Fr. Brady, Fr. Joe, Fr. John, Fr. Perry, Msgr. Hodge,
Fr. Diaz, Fr. Nicolas, Fr. Cal, Fr. Harte, Msgr. Coyne, Fr. Joe Rush,
Fr. Ron and so many who have help me personally, and all Priests. Also, Pope Francis,
Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Bishop Sullivan, and Bishop Daniel of Peoria.
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**

Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, we pray that in the great love and mercy of your Sacred Heart you attend to all the needs of your priest-shepherds throughout the world. We ask that you draw back to your Heart all those priests who have seriously strayed from your path, that you rekindle the desire for holiness in the hearts of those priests who have become lukewarm, and that you continue to give your fervent priests the desire for the highest holiness. United with your Heart and Mary’s Heart, we ask that you take this petition to your heavenly Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
