PRAYER 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 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; and 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 who 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
