O Jesus
I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests labouring 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 baptised me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave
me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any otherway
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.
Amen |

Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia. For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia. Has risen, as he said, alleluia. Pray for us to God, alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia. For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
Let us pray.
O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. |

Lord God, our light and our salvation, we praise you for your gifts of life and faith. we thank you for the desire that you have planted in our hearts, our yearning to see your face.
Help us to meet you in prayer, to walk in your ways, and to speak to others of our joy and consolation in your presence.
Give us faithfulness in this present life so that we may come to know and praise your beauty, with all our brothers and sisters, in the life to come. |

Late have I loved you, O beauty so ancient and so new; Late have I loved you! For behold you were within me, and I outside; And I sought you outside and in my ugliness fell upon those lovely things that you have made ... You called and cried to me and broke open my deafness: And you sent forth your beams and shone upon me and chased away my blindness: You breathed fragrance upon me, and I drew in my breath and do now pant for you: I tasted you, and now hunger and thirst for you: You touched me, and I have burned for your peace. |

O Holy Spirit,Replace the tension within me with a holy relaxation. Replace the turbulence within me witha sacred calm. Replace the anxiety within me with a quiet confidence. Replace the fear within me with a strong faith. Replace any bitterness within me with the sweetness of your grace. Replace the darkness within me with a gentle light. Replace the coldness within me with a gentle warmth.
