Shepherding the Shepherds, Praying for Priests

Eternal God,

Please bless our priests, who represent you on this earth. Make them more greatly aware of the grace that you pour out through them when they minister the sacraments, and help them to fall more deeply in love with you after each and every Mass that they celebrate.

Please strengthen our priests, who shepherd your flock, when they are in doubt of their faith, that they may be examples of your truth and guide us always on the path to you.

We ask these things of you in Jesus name, our Eternal Priest. Amen
