O Jesus, Eternal Priest, look down with love upon your priests.

​

Fill them with burning passion for the conversion of sinners.

​

Stir up in them the grace of their vocation.

 

Keep them within the shelter of your Sacred Heart.

​

Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch your Sacred body.

​

Keep pure their hearts sealed with the marks of your glorious Priesthood.

​

Keep them all close to your heart and bless them abundantly.

 

Let your holy love protect them from the world's harm.

 

Bless their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister on earth be one day their joy and consolation in heaven.

 

Amen.
