Prayer for Priest - World Priesthood Sunday, Oct. 24/25
Praise to you, Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ,
for in your infinite love
you care for your people
by the ministry of priests.
May their faithful service
bring lasting good to your Church
and great happiness to them.
Help them to do what is right,
that by their teaching and living
we may grow in the knowledge of your love.
As our priests instruct your people,
enlighten them with the wisdom of Christ the Teacher.
As they preach your Word and celebrate the sacraments,
sanctify them with the holiness of Christ the High Priest.
As they face weakness, suffering and discouragement,
strengthen them with the grace of Christ the Life-Giver.
As they work for peace, unity and healing in your Churc h,
uphold them with the courage of Christ the Reconciler.
Giver of all good gifts,
make the ministry of our priests
a spiritual offering pleasing to you,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

The month of October
reminds us that all life comes from the hand of God, from the unborn to
the elderly.
Lord Jesus, you
gave sight to the blind and made the mute speak. Give me the
faith to trust you and stand for the most defenseless of your
children. You know every hair on my head and you have
infinite love for every person who has been hurt by abortion.
Give me and all of my fellow brothers and sisters the courage to
embrace you with open arms and to take your love into the world
for the least of our brethren. May I be an instrument of your
love and compassion in this 40 Days for Life campaign and to you
may all glory be given. We ask this through our Lord,
Jesus Christ you Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen

The Year For Priests Prayer for
Vocations
Good and gracious God, hear our prayer
for an increase in priestly vocations. Touch the hearts of
young men in our world today. Instill in them a burning desire
to serve you. Give them the courage to answer your call with
generous hearts.
Reveal to them a vision of your
Kingdom. Help them to see the joy of priestly ministry. Lead
them in the footsteps of your Son, Jesus Christ.
We ask you to bless our seminarians
and guide them on the path toward priesthood. Strengthen them as
they are educated and formed in the duties and responsibilities of
the priesthood. Help them to become faithful servants and leaders in
the Church today. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and
reigns now and forever. Amen.

to enact laws that protect the sanctity of life- from the unborn to
the elderly; and promote the good of all people.

liberty, justice and equality. Send your Holy Spirit upon our

Make us people of hope in times of trouble. Make us people of
compassion with those who are less fortunate. Make us people of
peace in our homes, our community, our country, and our world.
We ask

A
Prayer for Vocations
O loving and merciful God, you
call us to follow the example of Jesus, your son, through lives of
service to one another.
Open our minds and hearts to
hear and recognize your call.
Give us the necessary grace to
remain faithful in our choice to commit our lives to you in whatever
way you lead.
We ask especially that you send
you Holy Spirit upon the Church to stir the hearts of many to accept
a vocation to serve you as priests, sisters, brothers and deacons.
In your name we pray. Amen
Re-examine the Lord's Prayer:
I cannot say: Our if my religion has
not room for other people and their needs.
I cannot say: Father if I do not
demonstrate this relationship in my life.
I cannot say: Who are in Heaven if all
my interests and pursuits are earthly things.
I cannot say: Hallowed be thy name if I
who am called by his name am not holy.
I cannot say: Thy kingdom come if
I am unwilling to give up my sovereignty and accept the reign of God.
I cannot say: Thy will be done if
I am unwilling or resentful of having Him in my life.
I cannot say: On earth as it is in heaven
unless I am truly willing to give myself to His service here and now.
I cannot say: Give us this day our daily
bread without an honest effort or by ignoring the needs of others.
I cannot say: Forgive us our trespasses as
we forgive those who trespass against us if I continue to hold a grudge.
I cannot say: Lead us not into temptation
if I deliberately choose to remain in a situation of temptation.
I cannot say: Deliver us from evil if I
am not prepared to fight in the spiritual realm with the weapon of prayer.
I cannot say: Amen unless I can also
honestly say, "Cost what it may, this is my prayer."
