O Jesus, I pray for Your
faithful and fervent priests; for Your unfaithful and tepid priests; for Your
priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Your tempted
priests; for Your lonely and desolate priests; for Your young priests; for Your
dying priests; for the souls of Your priests in purgatory. But above all I recommend
to You the priests dearest to me; the priest who baptized me; the priests who
absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave
me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed
me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way. O Jesus, keep them
all close to Your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen.
