Litany
for Priests
For Private Use
Only.
God the Father,
Son,
And Holy Spirit,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Jesus, our High
Priest,
Sacrifice,
And Teacher,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Bless our Holy
Father,
Our bishops,
And priests,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Give them the
strength of Thy grace,
And the love of Thy Heart,
And the spirit of sacrifice
of Thine Own Divine life,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Make them firm in
faith,
Holy in conduct,
And faithful in Thy service,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Fill them with the
zeal of the Apostles,
With the courage of the
Martyrs,
With the spirit of the
Confessors,
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Grant that they may convert the sinners,
Correct the erring,
Teach the ignorant,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Strengthen them
with joy in their labors,
With patience in their
sufferings,
With endurance in their
struggles,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Preserve them in
love for the little ones,
In zeal for the education
of youth,
In loyalty to people and
country,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Bless their words
in the pulpit,
Their instructions in
school,
Their admonitions in the
Confessional and at the sickbed,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Preserve them from
the temptations of the wicked enemy,
From the hostile plots of
unscrupulous men,
From all occasions of sin,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Make us one with
them in faith,
Loyal in Divine service,
And holy in life,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
Give us holy bishops,
Holy priests,
Holy missionaries,
We
beseech Thee, hear us.
