Prayer for Priests

O Jesus, our great High Priest, 
hear my humble prayers on behalf of our parish priest. 

Give him a deep faith,
a bright and firm hope 
and a burning love which will ever increase 
in the course of his priestly life. 

In his loneliness, comfort him,
in his sorrows, strengthen him,
in his frustrations, point out to him 
that it is through suffering that the soul is purified, 
and show him that he is needed by the Church, 
he is needed by souls,
he is needed for the work of redemption.
 
O loving Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, 
take to your heart your son who is close to you 
because of his priestly ordination, 
and because of the power which he has received to carry on 
the work of Christ in a world which needs him so much. 

Be his comfort, be his joy, be his strength, 
and especially help him to live and to defend
 the ideals of consecrated celibacy.

Amen.
