Prayers For Priests
Keep them, I pray Thee, dearest Lord, keep them,
for they are Thine- Thy priests whose lives burn out
before Thy consecrated shine.
Keep them, for they are in the world, though from
the world apart; when earthly pleasures tempt,
allure-shelter them in Thy heart.
Keep them, and comfort them in hours of loneliness
and pain, when all their life of sacrifice for souls
seems but in vain.
Keep them, and O remember, Lord, they have no
one but Thee, yet they have only human hearts,
with human frailty.
Keep them as spotless as the Host that daily they
caress; their every thought and word and deed,
deign, dearest Lord, to bless.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be.
