Prayer for Priests and Vocations
"Now we ask you to respect those who work hard among you. Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work." (1 Thess. 5:12, 12, NIV)
Daily Prayer for Vocations
Jesus, Lord of the harvest,
Look with love on this portion of your vineyard.
Bless the Diocese of San Diego
With more priests to shepherd your people,
Priests with hearts like your own.
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.
Daily Prayer for Priests
O Jesus,
I pray for your faithful and fervent priest;
For your unfaithful and tepid priest;
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
(especially………………………..)
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity.
Amen
By Sister, Therese of Lisieux
