Father,
you have appointed your Son Jesus Christ eternal High Priest.
Guide those he has chosen to be ministers of Word and Sacrament
and help them to be faithful
in fulfilling the ministry they have received.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
One God, for ever and ever. AMEN.

---------------------------------

God our Father, we thank you for all our priests. We entrust them to your care. Help them in the challenges and difficulties they are faced with. Guide them in their ministry, and keep them faithful to their calling as pastors of your flock and stewards of your kingdom. Amen.

----------------------------------

In a special way, I pray for those priests through whom I have received your graces. I Pray for the priest who baptised me and for those who have absolved my sins, reconciling me with You and with your Church. I pray for those priests whose Masses I have participated in and who have given me your Body and Blood as nourishment for the Journey of life. I pray for those priests who have shared your Word with me, and for those who have helped me and led me to you. Amen.

(adapted from the Prayer of St Thérèse of Lisieux)
