• Year of the Priest 2010

Dear Lord, we pray that the Blessed Mother wrap her mantle around Your priests and through her intercession strengthen them for their ministry. We pray that Mary will guide Your priests to follow her own words, "Do whatever He tell you" (Jn2:5) May Your priests have the heart of St. Joseph, Mary's most chaste spouse. May the Blessed Mother's own pierced heart inspire them to embrace all who suffer at the foot of the cross. may Your priests be holy, filled with the fire of Your love seeking nothing but Your greater glory and the salvation of souls. Amen
