Lord Jesus, You have chosen Your priests from among us & sent them out to proclaim Your word & to act in Your Name. For so great a gift to Your Church, we give You praise & thanksgivng. 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 & rising.

In times of weakness send them Your Spirit, & help them to praise Your Heavenly Father & pray for poor sinners. By the same Holy Spirit put Your words on their lips & Your love in their hearts, to bring good news to the poor & healing to the brokenhearted, & 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.
 
God Our Father

God our Father, please send us holy priests. All for the Sacred & Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, all for the Sorrowful & Immaculate Heart of Mary, in union with St. Joseph.
(And please strengthen & sanctify the priests You have already blessed us with...)
 
Praying for priests, that they especially stay loyal to Rome and therefore to their vocation.
 
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
 
Prayer for Priests

by St. Therese of Lisieux

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.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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 death.
Amen.
 
Thank you Father for the
priest you have given us.
We trust that your will be done
with their lives.
Guide them and strengthen them
in their daily walk with you.
AMEN

I keep our priests and many other important matters in daily prayer…but it is a good move to start a thread and I join my prayers with those in this thread…
 
I thank you for all of the wonderful holy priests who have been in my life and an inspiration to me. I pray for those priests who seem to be having troubles and I ask that you cover them with prayer.
