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.
