A Prayer for Priests 

"Jesus, Mary, I love You, Save Souls"

 

Keep them I pray Thee, dearest Lord.
Keep them, for they are Thine
Thy priests whose lives burn out before
Thy consecrated shrine.
Keep them, for they are in the world,
Though from the world apart;
When earthly pleasures tempt, allure, -
Shelter them in Thy heart.
Keep them, and comfort them in hours
Of loneliness and pain,
When all their life of sacrifice
For souls seems but in vain,
Keep them, and O remember, Lord,
They have no one but Thee,
Yet they only human hearts,
With human frailty.
Keep them as spotless as the Host.
That daily they caress;
Their every thought and word and deed,
Deign, dearest Lord, to bless.

Imprimatur:   † D. Card. Dougherty, Arch of Philadelphia

Our Father, Hail Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for them.

THE PRIEST IS A MASTER PIECE OF CHRIST'S DIVINE LOVE,
WISDOM AND POWER

NEVER ATTACK A PRIEST

CRITICISM OF PRIESTS

"One should NEVER attack a priest, even when he's in error, rather one should pray and do penance that I'll grant him my grace again.  He alone fully represent Me, even when he doesn't live after My example"  (page 29, JMutter Vogel's Worldwide Love, St. Grignion Pbulishing House, Altoting, South Germany (29, 6, 1929)

When a Priest falls we should extend him a helping hand THROUGH PRAYER AND NOT THROUGH ATTACKS!  I myself will be his judge, NO ONE BUT I!"
"Whoever voices judgment over a priest has voiced it over me; child, never let a Priest be attacked, take up his defense."  (Feat of Christ the King 1937)  "Child, Never judge your confessor, rather pray much for him and offer every Thursday, throough the hands of My blessed Mother, Holy Communion (for Him) (18, 6, 1939) "Never again accept an out-of-the-way word about a Priest, and speak no unkind word (about them) EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE! Every Priest is My Vicar and My heart will be sickened and insulted because of it!  If you hear a judgement (against a Priest) pay a Hail Mary."  (28, 6, 1939)

"If you see a Priest who celebrates the Holy Mass unworthily then say nothing about him, rather tell it to Me alone!  I stand beside Him on the altar!"  "Oh pray much for my priests, that they'll love purity above all, that they'll celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with pure hands and heart.  Certainly the Holy Sacrifice is one and the same even when it's celebrated by an unworthy priest, but the graces called down upon the people is not the same!"  (28, 2, 1938)

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for them.
