PRAYER FOR PRIESTS and those DESTINED FOR THE PRIESTHOOD

a month ago i signed to pray for and adopt a priest in a website found below and was sent two prayer cards that i am by Gods grace and mercy  obligated to pray till my dying day, its contents id like to share so many may pray for them too.. posting it although a day late for( August 4)  in the Feast of St. John Marie Vianney~ Cure of Ars-Patron Saint of All Priests..

... a beautiful prayer for Priests and those destined for the Priesthood by the Handmaids of the Precious Blood Cor Jesu Monastery~ nunsforpriests.org



My Beloved Jesus, by the Precious Blood which You did shed on the day of the Circumcision, 
deign to watch over the infancy and the early education of the children to whom You have destined to minister at the altar, that they may be preserved spotless till consecrated to You by the Holy Unction.
Bless the families that honor Your Precious blood and spread this devotion by choosing from their midst a large number of vocations to the priesthood and by maintaining their fervor till the close of their lives.
       Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen


Lord Jesus by the Precious Blood You did shed in the Garden of Olives, take pity on all aspirants to the priesthood who, through the temptations of the evil one, or dread of the responsibilities of the sacred ministry, are in danger of losing their vocation. Impart to these tortured souls sufficient courage to make the sacrifices by which the Eucharistic Chalice must be purchased; and in return for their generosity, inebriate them at the altar with the Blood which, in Heaven, shall be their eternal source of delight. 
      Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen

Lord Jesus, by the Precious Blood shed in Your painful scourging, shield with Your own special protection and that of Your Immaculate Mother all ministers of the sanctuary so that, having renounced the goods of earth in order to belong entirely to You, they may every day offer and receive Your Body and Blood with such pious disposition as to enable You to find in their hearts a " Paradise of delight ".
       Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen

Lord Jesus by the Precious Blood which You did shed in Your Crowning with Thorns, we beseech You to maintain our clergy in such filial submission to the Holy See and its representatives as will foreever secure then the veneration, confidence and docility of the faithful children of Holy Church
      Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen

Lord Jesus,by Your Precious Blood shed on the way to Calvary, take pity on priests who are victims of injustice and who, like their Adorable Model, receive in return for their devotedness but crosses, trials and persecutions.
       Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen

Lord Jesus by the Blood of Your Crucifixion, inflame with ever increasing zeal the dispensers of Your Blood. Grant that, thirsting like You for souls, they may continue the work of Your Bloody passion by applying its merits. Succor most of all the poor missionaries, who after  watering
with their sweat and their tears the soil in which they have sown the Divine Seed, may still be called upon to dye with their own blood the land upon which they planted the Cross.
       Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen


Lord Jesus thru the Blood and Water shed by You after death, take special pity we beseech you on those among Your ministers who will be mown down by death. If , thru human frailty they have become the debtors of Your justice, grant that this very day the infinitely Precious Blood may discharge their obligations.
        Our Lady of the Precious Blood, watch over the living chalices
       of the Blood of Jesus. Amen


the second prayer card contains a short prayer for the Spiritual Director assigned to me which i will leave blank for his privacy :

Lord Jesus, live in all priests and help them truly appreciate their unique oneness with You so that they shall never crave for more or less than just Yourself and Your love forever.

Grant Father ________________ the grace to seek for no greater joy than Your Love and the privilege of bringing it to others.

 Grant to me an ever deepening reverence of Your Priesthood.And when death ends my life here on earth, may You, the Eternal High Priest, reveal to me in the Beatific Vision the consolation everlasting of having prayed and sacrificed for Your priests here on earth .Amen.
