Prayer For A Priest

O Jesus, our supreme High Priest, I lift up my humble intercessions for your servant, Father [N]. Grant him a profound faith, a radiant and steadfast hope, and a passionate love that grows ever deeper throughout his ministry. In times of solitude, grant him solace; in moments of sorrow, provide him with strength. When he faces frustrations, remind him that through trials, the soul is refined, and reveal to him his vital role within the Church, his significance to souls, and his essential part in the work of redemption. O cherished Mother Mary, Mother of Priests, embrace your son who draws near to you through his sacred ordination, and acknowledge the grace he has received to continue Christ's mission in this needy world. Be his source of comfort, joy, and strength, assisting him especially in upholding and living out the principles of celibacy.Amen.
