YEAR OF PRAYER FOR PRIESTS: The Pope has dedicated 2009-2010 as a special year of “Prayer for Priests”. During this year, the 5.30pm Mass each Thursday will be offered for the sanctity of priests and priestly vocations. There is a leaflet on Indulgences to take home. The following prayer has been issued by the Congregation for Clergy. “Dear Lord, we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle
around your priests and through her intercession,
strengthen them for their ministry. We pray that Mary will
guide your priests to follow her own words, “Do whatever
He tells you” (Jn 2:5). May your priests have the heart of
St. Joseph, Mary’s most chaste spouse. May the Blessed
Mother’s own pierced heart inspire them to embrace all
who suffer at the foot of the cross. May your priests be
holy, filled with the fire of your love, seeking nothing but
your greater glory and the salvation of souls. Amen. St
John Vianney, pray for us.” During this year, the 5.30pm Mass each Thursday will be offered for the sanctity of priests and priestly vocations.
