The Year of the Priests
The Year of 2009 has been designated as the Year of the Priests.
At Mass, the parish has been praying for the priests. We invite you to pray the following prayer:
Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have given them to us for our needs. We pray for them in THEIR needs. We know that You have made them priests in the likeness of your own priesthood.
You have consecrated them, set them aside, anointed them, filled them with the Holy Spirit, appointed them to teach, to preach, to minister, to console, to forgive and to feed us with Your Body and Blood.
Yet we know too, that they are one with us and share our human weaknesses. We know too that they are tempted to sin and discouragement, as are we, needing to be ministered to, as do we, to be consoled and forgiven , as do we.
Indeed, we thank You for choosing them from among us, so that they understand us as we understand them, suffer with us and rejoice with us, worry with us and trust with us, share our beings, our lives, our faith. We ask that You give them this day the gift You gave Your chosen ones on the way to Emmaus: Your presence in their hearts, Your holiness in their souls, Your joy in their spirits.
And let them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistric Bread. We pray to You, O Lord, with Marty, the mother of priests, for Your priests and for ours. Amen.
O Mary, Mother of priests, Pray from us; Saint John Maria Vianney, pray for us. Blessed Mary McKillop, pray for us
