Daily Prayer For A Priest

Lord Jesus, live in all priests and help them truly appreciate their unique oneness with you so that they shall never crave for more or less than just yourself and your love forever.

Grant Father the grace to seek for no greater joy than your love and the privilege of bringing it to others.

Grant to me, an ever-deepening reverence of your priesthood. And when death ends my life here on earth, may you, the Eternal High Priest, reveal to me in the Beatific Vision the consolation everlasting of having prayed and sacrificed for your priests here on earth.
Amen

The one requirement of Lay Associates and Confraternity Members who have adopted a priest spiritually is the Daily Prayer.

The following are some suggestions for those wishing to do more:

+ One or more decades of the Rosary
+ Visits to the Blessed Sacrament
+ Holy Hour of Adoration (Day or Night)
+ Ejaculatory prayers
+ Reading Scripture ¼ hour daily
+ Offering an hour of suffering during sickness
+ Offering an hour of work with pure intention
+ Spiritual reading
+ Acts or works of charity
