O Lord Jesus,
Help Your and our Priests.
Help us to follow Your Word, Will, and Charity,
through them.
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.
 
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."
(Straight from the Heart by Rev. Fr. Mario Jose C. Ladra)

O Virgin Mary, Queen of the Clergy,
protect and guide our priests. Amen.
 
A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

Divine Saviour, Jesus Christ,
Who have entrusted your work of redemption to the priests,
Who take your place on earth,
I offer You,
through the hands of Your most holy Mother,
for the sanctification of Your priests
and future priests this whole day,
all my prayers, works, joys, sacrifices and sufferings.
Give us saintly priests.
Grant to them apostolic hearts,
filled with love for You
and all the souls belonging to You, so that,
being themselves sanctified in You,
they may sanctify us who are entrusted to their care
and bring us safely into Heaven.

Loving Jesus,
bless all their priestly work and sacrifice.
Bless all their prayers and words at the altar
and in the confessional,
in the pulpit,
in the school and at the sickbed.
Call many young men to the priesthood and the monastic life.
Protect and sanctify all who will become Your priests.
And grant to the souls of the priests
who have departed this life, eternal rest.

And do you, Mary, Mother of all priests,
take them under your special protection
and lead them ever to the highest priestly sanctity.
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 continued health of Fr. Pacwa, all the Priests 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.
 
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.

To Saint Michael the Archangel

St Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
…be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray
…and do thou, O prince of the heavenly host,
…by the power of God,
…thrust into Hell Satan
…and all the other evil spirits
…who prowl about the world
…seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.

The Memorare

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
…implored thy help
…or sought thy intercession,
…was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother.
To thee I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
…despise not my petition,
…but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.

:signofcross:

Let Nothing Disturb You

Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.

Patience,
Obtains all things,
Whoever has God
Lacks nothing:
God alone suffices.

Santa Teresa de Jesús
(Santa Teresa de Ávila)
