Praying for Priests

• That priests be filled with the love of Christ, that they will be secure in their identity and vocation and alive with the power of the Holy Spirit.
  
  
• That priests will attain to a deep interior life that will liberate them from materialism and sensuality and from discouragement, indifference and cynicism.
  
  
• In thanksgiving for the vast army of faithful priests that they may grow in the love of Christ and that the title "Father" may have meaning because of all those who are brought to new life and holiness.
  
  
• For Bishops and priests who are persecuted and imprisoned; who are rejected and poor.
  
  
• So that priests will be protected from the deception of the evil one and safeguarded from confusion of doctrine and rebellion against authority in the Church.
