SAINT FAUSTINA'S PRAYER
FOR THE HOLY CHURCH AND PRIESTS
Omy Jesus, I beg Thee on behalf of the whole Church: Grant [her] love
and the light of Thy Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so
that hardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You,
O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; Thou Thyself maintain them in
holiness. O Divine and
Great High Priest, may the power of Thy mercy accompany them
everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are
continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Thy
mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the
sanctity of priests, for Thou canst do all things (1052).
Jesus, my most beloved, I beg Thee for the triumph of the Church,
for
blessings on the Holy Father, and on all the clergy; for the grace of
conversion for impenitent sinners. And I ask Thee for a special
blessing and for light, O Jesus, for the priests before whom I will
make my
confessions throughout my lifetime (240).
