Let us pray:

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

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, Hail Mary, Glory be.

St. John Vianney, patron of priests,

The Chaplet of the Seven Sorrows

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

My God, I offer You this Rosary for Your glory, so I can honor your Holy Mother, the Blessed Virgin, so I can share and meditate upon her suffering. I humbly beg you to give me true repentance for all my sins. Give me wisdom and humility, so that I may receive all the indulgences contained in this prayer.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended You, and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend You, my God, You Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.
