Praying for our priests.

Our Father, Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen

Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen

SAINT THERESE’S PRAYER
FOR PRIESTS

0 Holy Father,
may the torrents of love
flowing from the sacred wounds of your Divine Son
bring forth priests
like unto the beloved disciple John
who stood at the foot of the cross;
priests, who as a pledge of your own most tender love
will lovingly give your Divine Son to the souls of men.

May your priests be faithful guardians of your Church,
as John was of Mary,
whom he received into his house.
Taught by this loving Mother
who suffered so much on Calvary,
may they display a mother’s care
and thoughtfulness towards your children.
May they teach souls to enter into close union with you
through Mary who, as the Gate of Heaven,
is specially the guardian
of the treasures of your Divine Heart.

Give us priests who are on fire,
and who are true children of Mary,
priests who will give Jesus to souls
with the same tenderness and care
with which Mary carried the Little Child of Bethlehem.

Mother of sorrows and of love,
out of compassion for your beloved Son,
open in our hearts deep wells of love,
so that we may console Him
and give Him a generation of priests
formed in your school
and having all the tender thoughtfulness of your own spotless love.
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.

St. Therese of the Child Jesus, pray for our priests. Amen.*
 
RAYER FOR PRIESTS
TO HAVE STRENGTH
IN TIME OF WEAKNESS.

Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings,
you have power over life and death.
You know even things that are hidden or obscure.
And our very thoughts and feelings are open to you.
Cleanse our priests from secret faults,
when they did wrong and you saw it.
You know how weak they are,
both in soul and in body.
Give them strength, O Lord,
in their frailty
and sustain them in their sufferings.
Grant them a prudent judgement, dear Lord,
and let them always be mindful of your blessings.
Let them retain until the end your grace
that has protected them till now.
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. *

Grant, O Lord,
that every hand laid upon you at the altar
may be a friendly hand,
whose touch is tender and consoling as Joseph’s was;
that the lips which form so many sacred words
may never be profaned by frivolous or unworthy speech;
that priests may guard,
even in the noisy streets of the city,
the impress of their noble functions,
the bright token that they have
but lately come down from your holy mountain;
and in their garments the fragrance of the altar,
that everyone may find them living memorials of you,
accessible to all,
yet more than other men.

Grant that they may contract from the Mass of today
a hunger and thirst for the Mass of the morrow,
that the sacred anticipation be their last thought at night
and your tender summons their first awareness in the morning;
that your priests,
filled with you and your good gifts,
may give largely to the rest of men who look to you.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR
A HOLY CHURCH
AND PRIESTS

O my Jesus,
I beg You on behalf of the whole Church:
Grant it love and the light of Your Spirit
and give power to the words of priests
so that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance
and return to You, O Lord.

Lord, give us holy priests;
You Yourself maintain them in holiness.
O Divine and Great High Priest,
may the power of Your mercy accompany them everywhere
and protect them from the devil’s traps and snares
which are continually being set for the souls of priests.
May the power of Your mercy, O Lord,
shatter and bring to naught
all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests,
for You can do all things.
I ask You, Jesus,
for a special blessing
and for light for the priests
before whom I will make my confessions throughout my lifetime.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR THE
PROTECTION OF PRIESTS

Lord, heavenly Father,
keep our priests safe
from the pain and grief that sin brings,
from the dangers that they can’t see,
or the ones that they think they can risk
because of their experience (pride and carelessness).

Put up a supernatural barrier.

Protect them, Father, by your power!

Amen.
