Prayer
May
the Heart of Jesus, in the most Blessed
Sacrament of the Alter be Praised,
adored and loved with grateful affection,
at every moment in all the tabernacles of the
world, even to the end of time. Amen..
We have
been praying the "Novena" in honour of the
Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist - our special request
for the successful restoration of our Church.
"Whatever you ask for in prayer
and do so with faith, you will recieve" (Mt 21.22)
We have been asking for a special favour in this Novena
"That we are successful in restoring
our Parish Church, Our Lady and St Patrick,
making it a house of beauty
for the presence of the Blessed Sacrament"
Patron Saint
Of All The World's Priests
Prayer
for Priests
My Dear Jesus,
Thou desirest that we pray the Lord of the Harvest
that He send zealous labourers into His harvest.
Design to raise up in Thy Church, and especially in
this diocese, numerous
and holy priests who, taking Your
Divine Heart as their Model, will in the exercise
of
their holy priesthood, promote the glory of
Your heavenly Father and salvation of those souls
whom You have redeemed with You Precious Blood.
Give us truly holy priests who, inflamed with fire
of Your divine love, seek nothing but Your greater
glory and salvation of souls.
O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us;
obtain for us a number of holy priests.
