Prayer For Priests

Beloved Jesus, you wish for us to call upon the Lord of the harvest to send forth dedicated workers into His field. Please raise up within your Church, and particularly in our diocese, an abundance of holy priests who, inspired by your Divine Heart as their example, will, through their sacred ministry, foster the glory of your heavenly Father and the salvation of the souls you have redeemed with your Precious Blood. Grant us truly holy priests who, ignited by the flame of your Divine love, seek only your greater glory and the salvation of souls. O Mary, Queen of the clergy, intercede for us; obtain for us many holy priests.
