Prayer for Priests: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . O Jesus, I pray for Thy faithful and fervent priests; for Thy unfaithful and tepid priests; for Thy priest laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Thy tempted priests; for Thy lonely priests; for Thy dying priests; for the souls of Thy priest in purgatory. But above all I commend to Thee 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 Thy Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me, or helped and encouraged me; all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way. O Jesus, keep them all close to Thy Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ---- Cardinal Cushing - (1895-1970) ----- ---- Archbishop of Boston 1944-1970 ----
