Criticism of Priests
Jesus' revelations to Mutter Vogel
"One should never attack a priest, even when he's in error, rather one should pray and do penance that I'll grant him My grace again. He alone fully represents Me, even when he doesn't life after My example."
"When a priest fails, we should extend him a helping hand through prayer and through attacks. I, Myself, will be his judge, no one, but I. Whoever voices judgment over a priest has voiced it over Me. Child, never let a priest be attacked, take up his defense."
"Child, never judge your confessor, rather pray much for him and offer every Thursday, through the hands of My Blessed Mother, Holy Communion for him."
"Never again accept an out-of-the-way word about a priest, speak no unkind word about them, even if it were true! Every priest is My vicar and My heart will be sickened and insulted because of it. If you hear judgment against a priest, pray a Hail Mary."
Prayer for Priests
O Lord, today I pray that You protect every priest under Your heavenss. Keep them pure and let them reflect the light off Your Son. Console Your lonely priests. Enlighten those priests who have lost their way. Heal Your priests who suffer from woundedness of mind, body, or spirit. O Lord, give Your Divine Light to all Your beloved priests who live in darkness. Bring joy to those priests who are sad and suffer from depression. Bring Your love and peace to the hearts of all priests. O Lord God, please do not allow my prayer to go unheard, for your priests are Your voice on earth. They are
Your representatives. Be merciful and loving toward all Your priests, especially those who have abandoned You. Through Your love and mercy help them to be pure and holy. Lord, so many of Your priests have helped and guided me. I thank You for these priests. Lord, this is my prayer for Your priests. Help them and bless them. Let not one of them escape Your love and ercy. Bring them all to Your eternal glory. Amen.
Prayers for Our Holy Father
Lord, source of eternal life and truth, give to Your Shepherd, Pope Francis, a spirit of courage and right judgment, a spirit of knowledge and love. By governing with fidelity those entrusted to his care, may he, as successor to the apostle Peter and vicar of Christ, build Your Church into a sacrament of unity, love, and peace for all the world. We ask this through Our Lord, Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
O Sacred Heart of Jesus, pour in richest fullness, Thy blessings upon our Holy Catholic Church, Pope Francis, and all the clery. Grant perseverance to the just, conversion to sinners' enlighten the unbelievers; bless our relatives, friends, enemies and benefactors; assist the dying; deliver the holy souls in purgatory; and extend over all hearts the gentle dominion of Thy Love. Lord Jesus, shelter our Holy Father, Francis, especially now in our troubled times, under the protection of Thy Sacred Heart. Be his light, his strength, his consolation. Amen.
Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mystical Rose, intercede for the Holy Church, protect Pope Francis, help all who turn to you in their needs, and since you are the ever Virgin Mary and Mother of the true God, obtain for us from your Most Holy Son, the grace of keeping the faith, sweet hope in the midst of the trials of life, burning charity, and the precious gift of final perseverance. Amen.
St. Therese of Lisieux's Prayer for Priests
O Jesus, Eternal High 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 earthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your Holy Love surround them and shield them from the world's conatgion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls of whom they minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.
St. Faustina's Prayer for the Holy Church and Priests
O My Jesus, I beg You on behalf of the whole Church: Grant her love and the light of Your Spirit, and give power to the words of priests so that heardened hearts might be brought to repentance and return to You, O Lord. Lord, give us holy priests; You, Yourself, maintain them in holiness. O Divine and Great High Priest, may the power of Your Mercy accompany them everywhere and protect them from the devil's traps and snares which are continually being set for the souls of priests. May the power of Your Mercy, O Lord, shatter and bring to naught all that might tarnish the sanctity of priests, for You can do all things.
