Prayer for Priests
Office of Vicar for Priests

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of the priesthood and for the men You have called to serve as priests. Grant them strength and joy in their sacred duties, filling them with the Holy Spirit as they guide and shepherd Your people. May they remain steadfast in prayer and be models of holiness, reflecting the love of Christ in their lives.

We pray that our priests are supported by their communities and encouraged in their struggles. Inspire them to continue their growth in faith, serving with humility and self-giving, and leading others to a deeper understanding of Your Word and the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

St. Jean Vianney, patron of parish priests, pray for us!
