“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.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for our priests. Amen.*
 
ord our God,
in your Son, the Incarnated Word,
you have manifested your glory in the world;
give to baptized people
to discover in their lives
the signs of your presence.

Awaken in the hearts of many young people
the desire to consecrate their lives
to announce the Good News
of your love
as priests, deacons,
monks or nuns,
religious brothers or sisters,
missionaries or consecrated lay people.

Then, called to recognize you
in every human face
in this world,
we shall see your glory,
and that of your beloved Son,
full of grace and truth.

Amen!

*O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity. O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power. O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. *Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen
 
Lord, keep them in your love!

Virgin Mary, Mother of the Good Shepherd,
in you we come to praise our Almighty Father
for his loving design for the Church.
We entrust unto you, Mary,
who were standing at the foot of th cross [John 19:25],
the Church, the pope, the bishops and all the priests:
offer them to Jesus Eucharist;
support them in joys and in bad situations;
make them radiate with Jesus’ merciful love.
May the pastors challenge people:
so that, by looking at them, they feel Jesus’ love;
and that they draw to Him many vocations.
Thus all those who, with them, feel called to follow Jesus,
can say as you did, Mary:
“May it be to me as you have said” [Luke 1:38b].
And may all believe and sing the praises of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

P****rayer 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.

**Road Ahead **

“My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire.
And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road,
……though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost
……and in the shadow of death. I will not fear,
……for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me
……to face my perils alone.”

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.

Mary, Mother of the Church,
we pray to you for your sons
chosen and sent by your Son Jesus
to prolong his ministerial priesthood.
Come to fill them with the same attention
and the same motherly love
with which you surrounded your Divine Son Jesus.

By your powerful intercession
may they receive all the Divine grace
which they need to accomplish faithfully
the priestly task that has been entrusted to them
in the service of God’s People.

Come and pray with us, Mary,
in this intense prayer of Jesus
on the night before his Passion:
“May they all be one, Father,
just as you are in me
and I am in you,
so that the world will believe it was you who sent me.” [Jn 17:21].

Amen.

Learning Christ
Teach me, my Lord,
to be sweet and gentle in all the events of life;
in disappointments, in the thoughtlessness of others,
in the insincerity of those I trusted,
in the unfaithfulness of those on whom I relied.

Let me put myself aside,
to think of the happiness of others,
to hide my little pains and heartaches, so
……that I may be the only one to suffer from them.

Teach me to profit by the suffering that comes across my path.
Let me so use it that it may mellow me,
……not harden nor embitter me; that it may make me patient, not irritable;
……that it may make me broad in my forgiveness,
……not narrow, haughty and over-bearing.

May no one be less good for having come within my influence.
No one less pure, less kind, less noble for having been a
……fellow-traveler in our journey toward Eternal Life.

As I go my rounds from one distraction to another,
let me whisper, from time to time, a word of love to Thee.
May my life be lived in the supernatural, full of power and good,
……and strong in its purpose of sanctity.

PRAYER
FOR PRIESTS

Lord, we love you,
fill the hearts of our priests with your light,
touch them with your mercy.
Help them to be beacons of your light
in the days ahead.
As we do penance and reflect on your holy mysteries, and recollet,
may we ever grow closer and nearer to you
through the help of your priests,
reflecting the truth of your light more clearly,
glad always to be your witnesses.

O Blessed Mother,
pray for our priests and pray for us,
keep them and us always under your mantle,
and may we all learn from you
how to always say yes when God calls,
today, tomorrow, throughout our whole life.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
BY ST THERESE OF THE CHILD JESUS.

What a beautiful vocation we have!
We must keep the salt of the earth!
We offer our prayers and sacrifices
for the apostles of our Lord;
we ourselves must be their apostles,
while they evangelize our brothers
by word and example.

To live for love, O Lord divine,
It’s asking Thee to fill with fire
The hearts of all our priests and Thine.
Seraphic purity may they acquire.
Protect Thy Church. I am her child.
My life I offer Thee. Is it enough?
I pray to Thee so kind and mild.
I live for love.

The souls of priests I wish to be
Clear and bright alike a star.
Each one of them, for angels to see,
Before he goes up to the altar.

To grant us such a miracle,
O God, a rosary we say.
We pray before the tabernacle
On our knees, all night and day.

As pure as the white Host may be
Thy priests, these sacred chosen few.
For all the world their lives to see.
Thy friends who teach us in the pew.
May they fulfill their ministry sublime
At Eucharist and frequent preaching.
Accept me in Thy plan divine
As victim for Thy harvesting.

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. *
