Prayers for Priests,
Vocations and Religious
"A priest is not born of an angel but of a mother.
He is chosen from amongst the people, is anointed with the
Sacrament of Priesthood and returned back to the people,
to the Church - into their care, their prayer and their
love. The priest is a sign of the omnipotence of our God.
Pray for priests. Love them. Support them. Help them to be
holy. We are weak and fragile. If your knees are not
bent in prayer for us, we stumble and fall. We need your
prayer." ~ Fr. Jozo Zovko ofm
St. John Marie Vianney, Cure
d’Ars, said: If I were to meet a priest and an angel, I would greet the
priest first and then the angel ... If there were no priest, the
Passion and death of Jesus would serve no purpose. What use
is a treasure chest full of gold if there is no one who can unlock
it? The priest has the key to the treasures of
Heaven."
