Prayer for Priests

Eternal God, please bless our priests, who represent you on this earth.

Make them more greatly aware of the grace that you pour out

through them when they minister the sacraments, and help them to fall more

deeply in love with You after each and every Mass that they celebrate.

Please strengthen our priests, who shepherd your flock,

when they are in doubt of their faith, that they may be examples

of your Truth and guide us always on the path to you.

We ask these things of You our Eternal Priest.

Amen.

Peace of Christ to ALL

Perfect Trust

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust,

My loving God, in thee;

Unwavering faith that never doubts

Thou chooses best for me!

Best, though my plans be all upset;

Best, though the way be rough;

Best, though my earthly store be scant;

In Thee I have enough.

Best, though my health and strength be gone,

Though weary days be mine,

Shut out from much that others have;

Not my will, Lord, but Thine!

And even though disappointments come,

They, too, are best for me,

To wean me from this changing world,

And lead me nearer Thee.

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust

That looks away from all;

That sees thy hand in everything,

In great events or small.

That hears Thy voice - A Father's voice -

Directing for the best.

Oh, for the peace of a perfect trust,

A heart with Thee at rest.

Peace of Christ to ALL
