Dear Friends in Christ,
During this Holy Season of Lent, I strongly believe that this is a prayer all of us Freepers could pray for Father Robert Altier.
It is a Prayer for all Priests who are persecuted unjustly.
In Jesusand Mary,

The Way of the Cross for Priests, especially those who are suffering persecution.
(Make An Act of Contrition)
O dearest Lord Jesus, I offer Thee the way of the Cross which I am about to make for Thy honor and glory and for all Thy priests, especially those who are suffering persecution for Thy sake.
STATION I: Jesus is Condemned to Death
We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee. Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the World.
Dearest Lord Jesus, I thank Thee for permitting thyself to be unjustly condemned to death for our sakes. (Pause for reflection.)
By this outrage I beg of Thee to grant to all priests the grace to condemn themselves by dying to the world while they are still on earth, that it may not be necessary for Thee to condemn them when they come to die.
I also beg of Thee through this indignity to aid those priests who are suffering unjust condemnation for Thy sake, that they may bear their sufferings patiently in union with thine.
