Year Of The Priest

Recommended Posts

Check out the Youtube video on this website. I am so proud of those men who respond humbly to God's call. The words from the homily are amazing. May many more respond so courageously! God bless them!

Thanks for the link, Guadalupe23!

That video is beautiful. :love:

I think the [url="http://www.nypriest.com/"]Archdiocese of New York Office of Vocations[/url] has some of the absolute best priestly vocation promotions (materials? advertisements?).

And with St. Patrick's Cathedral... ah, my heart! Just beautiful and so striking of the Divine!

"The world needs heroes." -- That's one of my favorite slogans from their office of vocations.

May God give us good, holy, faithful, heroic priests! :priest_halo:

God bless the new priests as well. They are braver then brave. I mean that they have to suffer even more then their own family.

Does anyone know the prayer for Priests that has something like this in it,
"We pray for our tepid priests ... for priests in distant lands ... for our lonely priests ... for the priest who baptized me..."

Its a longer prayer, but my students and I prayed this and I found it in our diocese newspaper that said it was by St. Therese. But when I tried to find it online, I was unsuccessful.

There is a long prayer to priests that we used to pray in the Canadian Carmel. They were originally from Macau and this prayer was written by Cardinal King Pin-Mei... is that the one you mean? I can type it out if you want, but it is long.

It starts

All Powerful and Eternal God, through the merits of Your Son Jesus and through your love for Him,

Have pity on the priests of Holy Church. In spite of their sulbime dignity they are weak like all human beings.

and then it goes on with petitions... interested in it?

Perhaps this one? (Which is probably my favorite prayer for priests.)

[b]Daily Prayer For Priests (St. Therese of Lisieux)[/b]

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
(especially …).

O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen

Prayer for Priests
O Jesus, our great High Priest,
Hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priest, Father [N].
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.
