Prayer for Priests
O Loving Father, You
are holiness itself. Through the Baptismal water and the Holy
Spirit, You call all Your children to holiness. From
among the priesthood of believers, You have called and set aside
certain men to share in the ministerial priesthood of Your Son and
our Lord, Jesus Christ. Nothing matters more than that they become
holy and loving servants of the Church. During this “Year for
Priest”, we pray for all those who respond to the Master’s call to
become priestly servants of your people. May their ministry and
their
lives help them to grow in holiness. Draw them ever deeper, Father,
into the mystery of Your Divine Love.
We ask this prayer through Christ our High Priest, who is Lord, for
ever and ever. Amen.
