The year for Priests - 19th June 2009 to 19th June 2010
The year should provide a welcome opportunity for the entire church, priests and people to reflect on the role of priesthood and responsibility we all share for promoting and fostering the unique vocation of the priest.
Prayer for Priests
Heavenly Father, I ask you to
Bless our Bishops and Priests
And to confirm them in their
Vocation of service.
As they stand before us as
Ministers of your sacraments,
May they be channels of the love
And compassion of the good
Shepherd who came not to be
Served but to serve.
Give them the grace they need
to respond generously to you,
and the courage to proclaim
your word of justice,
love and truth.
Bless in a special way your
Servant
Father....................
Send your upon him so
that he may always walk in the
path of faith, hope and love, in
the footsteps of Christ, the
eternal priest, who offered
himself on the cross for the life
of the world. Amen
