A PRAYER FOR SOLITUDE

Jesus, teaching the value of solitude,

You reserved many moments to reflect.

You often departed for solitary places,

Withdrawing Yourself into the wilderness,

Or going up into a mountain to pray.

In loneliness, You spoke to the Father!

Teach me how to pray in seclusion,

To perceive the Father within myself.

Teach me to welcome solitary moments,

To enjoy the solitude within myself,

While listening to Your inspirations.

In solitude, Your mysteries are uncovered!

Amen!

Psalms Chapter 139:13-18

You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother's womb. I praise you, so wonderfully you made me; wonderful are your works! My very self you knew; my bones were not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned as in the depths of the earth. Your eyes foresaw my actions; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be. How precious to me are your designs, O God; how vast the sum of them! Were I to count, they would outnumber the sands; to finish, I would need eternity.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

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 priest;

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 baptized 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 other way.

O Jesus, keep them all close to Your heart,

and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.

Amen.
