A Prayer For Priests

O Jesus, Eternal High Priest, guard each of Your priests within the refuge of Your Sacred Heart, shielding them from all harm. Preserve their consecrated hands, which each day handle Your Sacred Body, from any stain. Protect their lips, stained with Your Precious Blood, keeping them pure. Purify their hearts, adorned with the glorious signs of Your priesthood. Surround them with Your divine love and protect them from the corruption of the world. Bless their efforts with abundant fruits, and may the souls they serve bring them joy and comfort in this life, and in Heaven, may they be their everlasting reward. Amen. O Mary, Queen of priests, intercede for us; grant us an abundance of holy ministers.Amen.
