September
Lord Jesus, You have chosen Your priests among us and have sent them to proclaim Your Word and to act in Your Name. For such a great gift to Your Church, we praise You and we thank You. We ask that You fill them with the fire of Your love, that their ministry may reveal Your presence in the Church. Since they are earthen vessels, we pray that Your power may work in their weakness. In their afflictions do not let them be crushed; in their doubts, do not let them despair; in temptation, do not let them be destroyed. Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of Your death and resurrection. In times of weakness, send them Your Spirit and help them to praise Your heavenly Father and to pray for poor sinners. With the same Holy Spirit place word on their lips and Your love in their hearts, that they may bring the Good News to the poor and revive the broken hearted. Lastly, may the gift of Mary, Your mother, to the disciple whom You loved, be Your gift to every priest. Grant that whe, You formed formed in Your human image, may form each priest in Your divine image through the power of Your Spirit, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

31-For priests to open their hearts to the Holy Spirit
O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests. For Your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields.
For Your tempted priests;
for Your lonely and desolate priests;
for Your young priests; for your dying priests.
For the souls of Your priests in purgatory. But, above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priest who absoved me from my sins. The priest at whose masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion. The priest who taught and instucted me; all the priests to whom I'm indebted to in any other way (especially.....).
O Jesus, keep them all and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.
-Prayer of St. Therese the Child Jesus
