Year for Priests

Today on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Church begins a Jubilee Year for Priests. I have provided a link to the USCCB website devoted to this celebration of the priesthood. Click on the artwork below to access this information, and don't forget to pray for all of our priests.



Please Pray for Priests
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.
Saint John Vianney, pray for us.
