Catholic Prayer: Prayer for Priests
Description:
From the book "With God: A Book of Prayers and Reflections" by Fr. Francis Xavier Lasance. It carries an imprimatur from Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, December 15, 1954.
Prayer:
Sanctify to Thyself,
O my Lord,
the hearts of Thy priests,
that by the merits of
Thy sacred humanity,
They may become
living images of Thee,
children of Mary,
and full of the fire of
the Holy Ghost, that they
may guard Thy house, and
defend Thy glory, and
that through their ministry
the face of the earth
may be renewed, and
they may save those souls
which have cost Thee
all Thy blood.
Amen.
