THIRD DAY

TODAY WE PRAY FOR ALL PRIESTS AND RALIGIOUS

O LADY OF ALL NATIONS, we lift up all priest and religious. Guide the Pope and all Bishops as they lead the Church. Let them hold fast to the true teaching of Jesus Christ as they instruct the faithful. Sustain all

priest and religious as they minister to God’s people. Provide for their needs; protect them from harm, especially from the deception of Satan. O Lady of All Nations, be with us as we pray.

“O Almighty Eternal God Our Father, look upon the face of Your Son, and for love of Him who is the Eternal High Priest, have pity on Your PRIESTS. Remember, O most compassionate God that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the bishops’ hands.

Keep them ever close to you, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.

O Jesus, Our Eternal Priest, I pray for Your faithful and fervent PRIESTS; for Your unfaithful and tepid PRIESTS laboring at home, or abroad in distant mission fields; for your young tempted PRIESTS; for Your young PRIESTS; and for the soul of Your PRIESTS in purgatory.

But above all, I commend to You the PRIESTS dearest to me; the PRIESTS who baptized me; the PRIESTS who absolved me from my sins; the PRIESTS at whose masses I assist; the PRIETS who give Your body and Blood in Holy communion; the PRIESTS who taught and instructed me about You and Your Holy Scriptures; the PRIESTS who helped and encouraged me to accept You as my Lord and Savior, and all PRIESTS whom You sent to touch my life and those of my loved ones. “

( Richard Cardinal Cushing )

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.” ( Jn. 6:53-54,56 )

By you, we will be led to Christ, your SonAnd only begotten Son of God, and by Him and with Him to His Eternal Father. We shall walk in the light of faith, of hope, and of love so that the world may believe that the Christ is the One sent by the Father to give to us His Word and we, as His ambassadors, shall carry His knowledge and love to the ends of the earth.Thus under maternal protection of your Immaculate Heart, we will be one people with Christ, ransomed by His death and witnesses of His Resurrection, and by Him led to the Father for the glory of the Most Holy Trinity whom we adore, praise and bless.

I take You, then, O Sacred Heart, for the one object of my love, the Protector of

my Life, the Pledge of my Salvation, the Remedy of my inconstancy, the Redeemer of all my faults, and my sure Refuge in the hour of death.

O Sacred Heart of all Goodness, be my justification before God the father, and shield from the effects of His just anger

O Sacred Heart, overflowing with love, I place all my confidence in You, for I dread my own weakness, while I hope everything from Your Goodness.

Destroy in me whatever displeases You or goes against Your Will. May pure love of You be so deeply imprinted in my heart that I May never forget You or be separated from You.

I implore You by all Your Love that my name be engraved upon You, may it be all my happiness to live and die doing Your Holy Will without hesitation an d generously. Amen.
