Prayer for Priests

Holy Spirit Prayer

Prayer for Union with Jesus

St Jean Eudes Prayer

Here is one of his prayers to the Sacred Heart:

Oh, how good and delightful it is to dwell in the Heart of Jesus! Thy Heart, O good Jesus, is a precious treasure, a precious pearl which we have found by digging the field of Thy Body. Who will cast aside this pearl? Nay, rather I will give all I have, I will exchange all my thoughts and desires and purchase it. I will cast all my care on the Heart of the Lord Jesus and He will provide for me without fail. I will adore in this temple, this Holy of Holies, this Ark of the Testament, and I will praise the name of the Lord, saying with David, "I have found my heart that I may pray to my God. And I have found the heart of my King, my Brother, my Friend, the benign Jesus, and why shall I not adore?" Assuredly I shall pray. For His Heart is mine. I will say it boldly, for Christ is my Head, is not what belongs to my Head mine? Therefore as the eyes of my corporal head are truly my eyes, so is my spiritual heart my heart. Therefore, it is well with me: truly I have but one Heart with Jesus and what wonder that there should be but one heart with the multitude of believers. Amen.

is like a thick steak,
a glass of red wine,
and a good cigar."

Prayer for the Elevation of Society through the Communications Media Lord

Prayer for the Elevation of Society through the Communications Media Lord

In union with the priests who today are offering the Holy Mass, I offer You Jesus-Host and myself, a small victim: In reparation for the errors and the scandals spread throughout the world by the media of communication; To implore Your mercy for those who are deceived and allured by these powerful media and who are withdrawn from Your Fatherly love; For the conversion of those who, in the use of these media, refuse to recognize the Magisterium of Christ and of the Church, and thereby poison the minds, the hearts, and the activities of the people; That we all may follow Him, whom You, Father, in the immensity of Your love, have sent to the world, proclaiming, 'This is My Beloved Son, hear Him."; To know and to make it known that only Jesus, the Incarnate Word, is the Perfect Teacher, the Sure Way that leads to knowledge of the Father and to participation in His life; For the multiplication in the Church of the number of priests, religious, and laity who dedicate themselves to making the message of salvation resound throughout the world through the apostolate of social communication; For those who carry on the diffusion of technical and writing apostolates to be wise, to be holy, and to bear witness to genuine Christian life in the field of social communication; For Catholic undertakings in the field of communication to grow in number and in value, and to effectively promote truly Christian values in order to offset the voices of error and evil; That we all may know our ignorance and our unworthiness, humbly and confidently draw near to the font of life, nourish ourselves with Your Word, Father, and the Body of Christ, and invoke light, love, and mercy for all humankind. Prayer to the Guardian Angels for the Good Use of the Media of Social Communication O Angels of heaven, watch over those who write, those who produce, those who distribute audiovisual media, and those who make use of them. Defend them from evil, guide them in the truth, and obtain for them true charity. Ask of God the necessary vocations to the apostolate of the audiovisual media, and be with them in their delicate mission. Inspire everyone to contribute to the apostolate of social communication media through good works, prayers, and offerings. Enlighten, guard, rule, and guide the world of audiovisual media, so that it serves to uplift the level of this present life and directs humankind towards eternal goods. Amen.

Morning Offering for intention of Priests

Morning Offering for intention of Priests

Holy Blessed Trinity,
I offer You all my prayers,
Works, joys and sufferings,
Of this day. No matter what
little thing I do, I offer it to
You In reparation:
# For holy priests
# For the conversion of priests
# For more priests
# For the return of many priests
# Who have left the priesthood
# For the priests still in purgatory
# Especially those most in need.

I offer myself this day (optional:
And hereafter until my death)
As an offering for holy priests.
In union with the suffering,
Death and resurrection of Jesus.
And in union with the Sacred
Body And Blood of Jesus
Consecrated daily on all the
Altars of the world by Your
Holy priests.
I make this offering freely,
Trusting that You will take care
Of all my needs, spiritual and
Temporal, for the state in life
To which You have called me.

I make this offering through
The Immaculate Hands and
Heart of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, Mother of Divine Love,
That She might take this
Imperfect prayer and
Present it to Her Son,
That through His Sacred Heart,
He might perfect it,
And present it to Our Father
By the Power of The Holy Spirit.
Through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
Amen.

(With ecclesiastical approbation.)
