Prayer for Priests, Five



A Prayer Before the Blessed Sacrament
for the Increase of Priestly and Religious Vocations




Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Eternal Father,
Son of the Virgin Mary,
we thank you for offering your life in sacrifice on
the Cross, and for renewing this sacrifice
in every Mass celebrated throughout the world.
In the Power of the Holy Spirit
we adore you and proclaim
your living presence in the Eucharist.
We desire to imitate the love you show us
in your death and resurrection,
by loving and serving one another.
We ask you to call many young people to religious
life, and to provide the holy and generous priests
that are so needed in you Church today.
Lord Jesus, hear our prayer. Amen.
Cardinal Rigali 

Thanks to Adoremus for this prayer and many others for priests.

No priests, no bishops, no Eucharist. Pray for priests.
