PRAYER FOR HOLY PRIESTS
O my Jesus, I thank Thee, that Thou art truly, actually, and substantially, human and divine, present here in the mystery of the Sacrament of the Altar.
Thou hast said, "Ask and you shall receive, seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you." See, Lord, I come and knock. I ask Thee: Send us holy priests!
O my Jesus, Thou hast said: "Whatever you ask the Father in MY Name, it shall be granted you." See, Lord, in Thy Name I ask Thy Father the grace: Send us holy priests!
O my Jesus, Thou hast said: "Heaven and earth shall pass away but My Word shall not pass away." See, Lord, in trust of the infallibility of Thy Word, I ask Thee: Send us holy priests!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in Thee! Please bless Thy priests!
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, it is not possible for Thee to have no sympathy for us wretches. Have mercy on us sinners, and grant us through the threefold full of grace, beautiful, and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Thy Mother and ours, the grace to which we pray to Thee. Amen.
O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us: obtain for us many holy priests.
O Lord, grant unto Thy Church saintly priests and fervent religious.
Send forth, O Lord, laborers into Thy harvest.
O Lord, grant us priests! O Lord, grant us holy priests! O Lord, grant us many holy priests! O Lord, grant us many holy religious vocations!
Pope Saint Pius X, pray for us.
