Daily prayer for Priests

Priests

St Therese wrote this prayer for priests, which I have decided to pray daily.  Our priests need our prayers now more than ever. Will you join me in praying for our priests?

Daily prayer for priests

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests labouring 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 baptised 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.
