**
Hail Holy Queen**
Hail, Holy Queen,
Mother of Mercy,
hail our life, our sweetness and our hope!
To thee do we cry
poor banished children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping
in this vale of tears.
Turn then,
O most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy towards us
and after this our exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb,
Jesus;
O clement,
O loving,
O sweet Virgin Mary.
V. Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Prayer 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.

Come, Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful
and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful
……by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit
……to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

PASTORES DABO VOBIS
(I Will Give You Shepherds)

O Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ
and Mother of priests,
accept this title which we bestow on you
to celebrate your motherhood
and to contemplate with you
the Priesthood of your Son
and of your sons,
O Holy Mother of God.

O Mother of Christ,
to the Messiah-Priest
you gave a body of flesh
through the anointing of the Holy Spirit
for the salvation of the poor
and the contrite of heart;
guard priests in your heart
and in the Church,
O Mother of the Saviour.

O Mother of Faith,
you accompanied to the Temple the Son of Man,
the fulfillment of the promises
given to the fathers;
give to the Father for his glory
the priests of your Son,
O Ark of the Covenant.
O Mother of the Church,
in the midst of the disciples
in the Upper Room you prayed
to the Spirit for the new People
and their Shepherds;
obtain for the Order of Presbyters
a full measure of gifts,
O Queen of the Apostles.

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 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.”*
(St. Therese of the Child Jesus)

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

Most gracious Heavenly Father,
We thank you for our faithful priests and bishops,
whose spiritual fatherhood and example of fidelity,
self-sacrifice,
and devotion is so vital to the faith of your people.

May our spiritual fathers
be guided by the examples of Saints Peter and Paul,
all the Apostles and their saintly successors.
Give them valiant faith in the face of confusion and conflict,
hope in time of trouble and sorrow,
and steadfast love for you,
for their families,
and for all your people throughout the world.
May the light of your Truth
shine through their lives and their good works.

Assist all spiritual fathers,
that through your Grace
they may steadily grow in holiness
and in knowledge
and understanding of your Truth.
May they generously impart this knowledge
to those who rely on them.
Through Christ, our Lord.

Amen.
 
Holy Blessed Trinity,
I offer You all my prayers,
works, joys and sufferings of this day.
No matter what little thing I do,
I offer it to You,
In reparation for holy priests,
For the conversion of priests,
For more priests,
For the return of many priests who have left the priesthood,
For the priests still in Purgatory,
especially those most in need.
I offer myself this day
and hereafter until my death
as an offering for holy priests,
in union with the suffering,
death and resurrection of Jesus.
And in union with the Sacred Body and Blood of Jesus,
Consecrated daily on all the altars of the world
by your holy priests.
I make this offering freely,
trusting that You will take care of all my needs,
spiritual and temporal for the state in life
to which You have called me.
I make this offering through The Immaculate Hands
and Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
Mother of Divine Love,
that she might take this imperfect prayer
and present it to her Son, Jesus,
that through his Sacred Heart,
He might perfect it and present it to our Father
by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
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. *
 
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 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 Blessed Lady of the Tears,
we entrust and consecrate the priesthood
to your Immaculate Heart!
During this time of trial and suffering,
we pray that you renew the priesthood
by making priests holy
in imitation of the Heart of the Good Shepherd.
We pray in reparation for the sins of the priesthood
and we pray for all victims of their sins.
Grant, O Lady of the Tears,
an outpouring of the Holy Spirit
on the priests
that they may be authentic witnesses
of your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.
May we wipe away your tears
by comforting your Immaculate Heart
by praying the rosary
and adoring the Heart of Jesus your Son
in the Most Holy Eucharist
present in every Catholic Church in the world.
Give all priests and seminarians
a deep love and devotion to Jesus
in the Eucharist and to you,
their loving Mother.
Grant that every priest and seminarian
will daily spend one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist
and daily pray your most holy rosary!
Grant all priests and seminarians the gift of purity,
the gift of chastity
and the gift of the divine love of your Son.
May they proclaim the truth without fear,
with love and with courage!
We ask all of our prayers through the Tears
which you shed at the foot of the cross
of Jesus Christ your Son
who lives and reigns with the Father
and the Holy Spirit!

Amen!
