DAILY PRAYER FOR PRIESTS
lmighty and Eternal God, look with mercy on Your priests, sharing Your Fatherhood in
the Holy Church.
Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, has made them priests and victims with Himself: day by day, may they offer the worship of His Mystical Body in the Eucharistic Sacri ce, with their own homage of heart, mind and body.
By the Holy Spirit, make them zeal- ous in their priestly ministry: keep them devoted to the Blessed Virgin Mary, obedient to the Pope and their Ordinary, and through them inspire young men to serve you in the priest- hood.
To You, O Holy Trinity, be honour and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
