On Thursdays we honor the Eucharist and pray for the Priesthood. Lift up our priests in prayer with the words of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, patroness of vocations. Let’s take a moment to listen to a peaceful reading of St. Thérèse’s Prayer for Priests without any background music. Read by Ameli.

A Traditional Prayer for Priests by St. Thérèse of Lisieux

O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep Your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily tinged with Your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world’s contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.
