The Year for Priests Continues

And they can really use our prayers.

Holy Father, sanctify your priests, sanctify them in the truth, preserve them in Your name. May the love with which You loved Your Divine Son be in them. Keep them from evil, they are in the world and the world hates them. Protect them, they are yours. May not even one of those whom You have entrusted to Your Son be lost. Jesus, sustain, comfort, save Your priests. Divine Spirit of love fill them with Your charity. Lead them as You led Jesus, even to the cross. Grant that priests be also hosts of love: for God for their fellow priests for all souls. Amen.

-prayer of the Oblate Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (following the charism of Ven. Teresa Casini)
