This Week's Prayer for Priests-Second Week

Prayer for Priests 
  O Almighty, Eternal God, look upon the Face of your Son and for love of him, who is the Eternal  High Priest, have pity on your priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the bishop's hands. Keep them close to you, lest the enemy prevails against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest  degree unworthy of their sublime vocation. 
Richard James Cardinal Cushing, Archbishop of Boston, 1895-1970

Today's prayer is for all parish priests, pastors, associates, military chaplains of all nations who are priests, and for hermits who are priests. Also, I pray for all priests who are retired, ill, or in hiding in countries of persecution.
