Prayer for Priestly Vocations
O Jesus, my Savior, You who entrusted to priests—and to them alone—the power to celebrate the Eucharist, the principal purpose of their priestly ordination; to forgive sins; to administer the other Sacraments; to preach the Word of God with authority; and to lead the other faithful to look toward You and ascend to You through Your Most Holy Mother,
I offer You, for the sanctification of priests and seminarians, during this day, all my prayers, works, and joys, as well as my sacrifices and sufferings.
Give us, Lord, truly holy priests who, inflamed by the fire of Your love, seek nothing other than Your glory and the salvation of those whom You have entrusted to them.
Amen.
