"Lord Jesus, you have chosen your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim your word and to act in your name.
For so great a gift to your people, we give you praise and thanksgiving. We ask you to fill them with the fire of your love, that their ministry may reveal your presence in our world.
Since they are but simple people, we pray that your power shine out through their lives.
Assist them in their difficulties, and inspire them to be true disciples in your service.
By your Holy Spirit put your words on their lips and your love in their hearts, to bring good news to all and healing to those in need.
May the gift of Mary your mother be a guiding light to each servant of God and protection in time of difficulty.
We pray that each priest remember that those consecrated by ordination are but signposts towards God, and to act accordingly.
We pray for strength and diligence for each priest in the carrying out of priestly duties.
Amen."
