Prayer For Priests (to Mary)

O Blessed Lady of the Tears,

we entrust and consecrate the priesthood

to your Immaculate Heart!

During this time of trial and suffering,

we pray that you renew the priesthood

by making priests holy

in imitation of the Heart of the Good Shepherd.

We pray in reparation for the sins of the priesthood

and we pray for all victims of their sins.

Grant, O Lady of the Tears,

an outpouring of the Holy Spirit

on the priests that they may be authentic witnesses

of your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord.

May we wipe away your tears

by comforting your Immaculate Heart

by praying the rosary and

adoring the Heart of Jesus your Son

in the Most Holy Eucharist present

in every Catholic Church in the world.

Give all priests and seminarians a deep love

and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist and to you,

their loving Mother. Grant that every priest and seminarian

will daily spend one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist

and daily pray your most holy rosary!

Grant all priests and seminarians the gift of purity,

the gift of chastity

and the gift of the divine love of your Son.

May they proclaim the truth without fear,

with love and with courage!

We ask all of our prayers through the Tears

which you shed at the foot of the cross

of Jesus Christ your Son who lives and reigns

with the Father and the Holy Spirit!

Amen!
