Prayer for Seminarians and Priests.

Jesus, our great High Priest, I thank you for the gift of your priesthood in the Church. I pray for all priests and for the seminarians in formation for the priesthood.

Fill them with the joy of your Holy Spirit as they follow you, the Good Shepherd, giving their lives daily for those you have called them to serve.

Let your love fill and satisfy their hearts, and make them ardent yet gentle heralds of the Gospel and tender ministers of your mercy, especially toward those most in need of it.

Jesus, gentle and humble of heart, make their hearts more like yours. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name;

thy kingdom come

thy will be done

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail, Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou among women

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners,

now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father

and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit.

as it was in the beginning

is now, and ever shall be

world without end. Amen.

St. John Vianney, patron of priests.

Pray for us!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen
