PRAY FOR PRIESTS
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 tempted priests:
For Your lonely and desolate priests:
For Your young priests:
For Your dying priests:
For the souls of Your priests in Purgatory.
But above all, I recommend 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:
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.
