A PRAYER FOR
PRIESTS AND BISHOPS

O God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son
to be the eternal High Priest
for the glory of Thy Majesty
and the salvation of mankind;
grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers
and the stewards of His mysteries,
may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry
which they have received.
Through the same Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

PRAYER FOR
PRIESTS AND RELIGIOUS.

O Jesus, our great High Priest,
hear my humble prayers on behalf of Thy servants.
Give them a deep faith,
a bright and firm hope,
and a burning love
which will ever increase in the course of their life.
In their loneliness, comfort them.
In their sorrows, strengthen them.
In their frustrations, point out to them
that it is through suffering that the soul is purified,
and show them that they are needed by the Church;
they are needed by souls;
they are needed for the work of redemption.

O Loving Mother Mary,
Mother of Priests and religious,
take to your heart your children
who are close to you because of the power
which they have received to carry on the work of Christ
in a world which needs them so much.
Be their comfort, be their joy, be their strength,
and especially help them to live
and to defend the ideals of consecrated celibacy.

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.*
 
O Lord, may Thou find shelter
and rest gently within the heart of Thy priest,
Father T.
Make him, O Lord, a priest according to Thy Heart:
meek, humble, zealous,
so that all he does will be for Thine honour and glory.
Mould him into a man of prayer and labour,
insensible to earthly things,
and sensible only to Thy love
and to the graces of the Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ,
as you gazed down from the Cross in Your bitter agony
upon the beloved and faithful Apostle, St. John,
Your anguish was increased
by the desertion of the traitor
and the other Apostles.
In spite of this desertion
Your love embraced them
and all those consecrated men who would forsake You.
We, therefore confidently beseech You now
to rain abundant grace on shepherds who have gone astray.
Where there is present groping uncertainty,
let there be light;
where there is present overshadowing gloom,
let there be joy;
where there is present mounting struggle,
let there be peace.
Guide, O Lord,
the straying shepherds back to the fold,
and assist them to walk surely and lovingly in Your sight,
for only in union with You
will the shepherd find true light, joy and peace.
Give to all priests inspiration in time of doubt,
patience in time of adversity,
fortitude in time of weakness,
that with Your love ever pressing them on,
they may lead others ever closer to You.

Amen.

FOR PRIESTS

O Jesus, Saviour of the world,
sanctify your priests and seminarians.

Lord Our God,
in order to govern your people
you willed to unite yourself to the ministry of priests.
Grant them the grace of accepting your holy will so that,
in their ministry and in their life,
they may seek only your glory.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

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. *
 
You Are a Priest Forever

To live in the midst of the world with no desire for its pleasures; to be a member of every family, yet belonging to none; to share all sufferings; to penetrate all secrets, to heal all wounds; to daily go from men to God to offer Him their homage and petitions; to return from God to men to bring them His pardon and hope; to have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastity; to bless and to be blest forever. O God, what a life, and it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ!

A PRAYER OF
THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE
FOR PRIESTS

Lord Jesus, You have chosen Your priests from among us
and sent them out to proclaim Your word
and to act in Your name.
For so great a gift to Your Church,
we give You praise and thanksgiving.
We ask You to fill them with the fire of Your love,
that their ministry may reveal Your presence in the Church.
Since they are earthen vessels,
we pray that Your power shine out through their weakness.
In their afflictions let them never be crushed;
in their doubts never despair;
in temptation never be destroyed;
in persecution never abandoned.

Inspire them through prayer
to live each day the mystery of Your dying and rising.
In time of weakness send them Your Spirit,
and help them to praise Your heavenly Father
and pray for poor sinners.
By the same Holy Spirit,
put Your word on their lips
and Your love in their hearts,
to bring good news to the poor
and healing to the brokenhearted.
And may the gift of Mary, Your mother,
to the disciple whom You loved,
be Your gift to every priest.
Grant that she who formed You in her human image,
may form them in Your Divine image,
by the power of Your Spirit,
to the glory of God the Father.

Amen.

O Mary conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

O Mary conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

O Mary conceived without sin,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

PRAYER TO THE
SACRED HEART OF JESUS
FOR PRIESTS

Remember, O most loving Heart of Jesus,
that they for whom I pray
are those for whom You prayed so earnestly
the night before Your death.
These are they to whom You look to continue
with You in Your sorrows when others forsake You,
who share Your griefs and have inherited your persecutions,
according to Your word:
That the servant is not greater than his Lord.

Remember, O Heart of Jesus,
that they are the objects of the world’s hatred
and Satan’s deadliest snares.
Keep them then, O Jesus,
in the safe citadel of Your Sacred Heart
and there let them be sanctified in truth.
May they be one with you and one among themselves,
and grant that multitudes
may be brought through their word
to believe in You and love You.

Amen.
