Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Holy Spirit, Spirit of Wisdom, guide priests… (here we name the priest or priests) Holy Spirit, Spirit of Light, enlighten priests… Holy Spirit, Spirit of Purity, sanctify priests… Holy Spirit, Spirit of Strength, sustain priests… Holy Spirit, Spirit of God, grant that priests, enlivened and strengthened by your grace, may carry the word of truth and the blessing of peace to the whole world. May the fire of holy love set their hearts ablaze, so that in its flames they may cleanse and sanctify souls. Holy Spirit, I entrust to you the hearts of priests: shape them after the Most Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Amen.

Prayer to the Mother of God

Mary, Mother of Christ the Priest, Mother of priests throughout the world, you loved priests in a special way, for they are the living image of your only Son. Throughout your earthly life you helped Jesus, and now you intercede for us in heaven — we beg you, pray for priests! Pray to the Heavenly Father to send labourers into his harvest. Pray that we may never lack priests to give us the sacraments, to explain the Gospel of Christ and to teach us how to become children of God! Mary, ask God the Father yourself to give us the priests we need, for your Heart can obtain everything from him. Obtain for us priests who will be holy! Amen.
