Starting the Year for Priests Right

6/23/2009
A prayer for priests

From the CUF Blog...

Jesus, I pray to You for Your faithful and fervent priests; for the unfaithful and tepid; for those laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for tempted priests; for the lonely and desolate; for young priests; for the aged, sick, and dying; for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.

But above all I commend to You the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; those who absolved me from my sins; at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your body and blood in Holy Communion; who taught and instructed me or helped me and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way, particularly (NAME).

Jesus, keep them all close to Your Heart and bless them abundantly in time and eternity. Amen.

From Our Founder

Let us learn from Naaman the Syrian: He was full of scorn and doubt when the prophet told him to bathe his leprosy in the little Jordan, whereas he was familiar with the noble Tigris and Euphrates. But he was not asked to compare the splendor of the river, but to obey the word which God spoke through His prophet. His little maidservant prevailed on him to bend his pride, and put his trust in the work of God's messenger. He did so, and was cleansed.
Let us all beg God for the humility and grace to do the same.
