A Prayer for priests (by St. Thérèse of Lisieux)

O Jesus, eternal Priest,
keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch them.

Keep unstained their anointed hands, 
which daily touch Your Sacred Body.
Keep unsullied their lips, 
daily purpled with your Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, 
sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.
Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contagion.
​
Bless their labours with abundant fruit and
may the souls to whom they minister be their joy and consolation
​here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.
​Amen.
