Prayer for Priests

Lord God, most holy, we approach You in gratitude for

Your holy ordained priesthood.

You have called these men to be set apart

and to shepherd Your people, as You

shepherd Your entire church. We pray for them in

their daily work. Grant to them an increase in

spiritual gifts and grace, so they may be prepared

for the tasks at hand. Lead them not into temptation

and protect them from the grasp of the evil one.

It is through the sacraments they confer that we

encounter the divine in a real and profound way.

May Your church never lose sight of these,

Your special sons, and may we, the body of Christ,

never fail to cherish the gift of their lives, which they

have freely given to You and Your holy church.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son.

Amen.
