Almighty Father, grant to these servants of Yours the dignity
of the priesthood. Renew within them the Spirit of holiness.
As co-workers with the order of bishops may they be faithful
to the ministry that they receive from You, Lord God, and be
to others a model of right conduct.
May they be faithful in spreading the good news, so that the
words of the Gospel may reach the ends of the earth, and the
family of nations, made one in Christ, may become God’s one,
holy people.
Amen.

Prayer said on behalf of priests.
Vulnerable human reality
Jesus, You chose Your priests from amongst Your people, yet in the sacramental ‘laying of hands’ You do not perfect us. Like those we serve, we need pardon, healing, prayer and faith as we seek grace to become humble, genuine witnesses of Christ.
Through Sacrament and intercession, teaching and act, we encourage and instruct Your people as You call us in our personal human history and reality, to be instruments of Your grace for others.
By your honest expression of rightly directed human emotion, intelligence and personality, You witnessed the wholeness of our nature when creatively lived in God’s love. In Your authenticity as a vital human, You revealed that each person’s salvation is projected around reality, not around some ideal self. Wholeness is found in one’s actual situation with its limitations and advantages. It is offered within one’s true personality in its abilities and handicaps.
Allow us to recognise Your unique expression of love in each other person. Give us the gift of revealing to everyone we meet and serve—the image within him of the glorious, loving beauty of You amid his human frailties and strengths. We thus encourage his trust and affirm his hope in Your patient lifelong moulding of him in the overwhelming love of Your personal plan for him.
In us, therefore—who are no less human than any other person—is manifest the wise charity and the gentle humility of Christ, to each person who comes before You in contrition, thankfulness, faith and joy. We thank and praise You Jesus, who shared all weakness of our nature except sin.
Help us to respect and encourage everyone, pardoning those who offend or inconvenience us. In liberty of spirit born of obedience, faith, and of freedom from undue attachments—we allow Your grace and witness to flow through us to others. We trust that You accomplish this even where there is no evidence of Your action.
Please sustain us as generous, inspired instruments of grace for Your continuing mission, as we alert others to the light of the Spirit in their lives. We glorify You, as we daily accept this joyful cross of our priestly ministry, while managing the challenges of our own vulnerable humanity!
Thank You Jesus, Who throughout the ages lovingly uses Your imperfect creatures as instruments of love, service, and glory!

Dear Lord,
we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around your priests
and through her intercession strengthen them for their ministry.
We pray that Mary will guide your priests to follow her own words,
“Do whatever He tells you” (John2:5).
May your priests have the heart of St Joseph, Mary’s most chaste spouse.
May the Blessed Mother’s own pierced heart inspire them to embrace
all who suffer at the foot of the cross.
May your priests be holy, filled with the fire of your love
seeking nothing but your greater glory and the salvation of souls.
Amen.
Saint John Vianney, pray for us.

Father in Heaven, we pray that, during this year of the priest, Your favor will come to rest upon them. Lord, their task is increasingly difficult and this world stands ever ready to defeat them spiritually. Graciously strengthen them to weather this storm, to withstand the attacks as they help to lead the Church militant in her steady march toward the promise of eternity in Your Kingdom. May Your servant priests, with Your help, stand firm for the truth that is Jesus Christ. We pray that they will remain fearless in the face of the evil one’s assaults, relying on the power of Your hand to defend them. We beseech You to grant your priests great wisdom, by breathing Your Holy Spirit upon them. May their own spirits of faithfulness be renewed as they joyfully serve You by serving Your Church. We petition You through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God for ever and ever. Amen! Alleluia!

Almighty God, look upon the face of Jesus who is the eternal High Priest, and have compassion on Your priests in today‘s world. They are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation. Keep them close to You so the enemy may not prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation. O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen
O Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us; obtain for us many and holy priests.
