A Prayer for Our Priests

You came from among us

To be, for us, one who serves.

We thank you for ministering christ to us

And helping us minister christ to each other.

We are grateful for the many gifts you bring

To our community:

for drawing us together in worship,

for visiting us in our homes,

for comforting us in sickness,

for showing us compassion,

for blessing our marriage,

for baptising our children,

for confirming us in our calling,

for supporting us in bereavement,

for helping us to grow in faith,

for encouraging us to take the initiative,

for helping the whole community realise

God's presence among us.

For our part, we pray that we may always be

Attentive to your needs and never take you

For granted. You, like us, need friendship and

Love, welcome and a sense of belonging,

kind words and acts of thoughtfulness.

We pray, also, for the priests who have

Wounded priesthood.

May we be willing to forgive

And may they be open to healing.

Let us support one another during times

Of crisis.

God our Father, we ask you to bless our

Priests and confirm them in their calling.

Give them the gifts they need

To respond with generosity and a joyful heart.

We offer this prayer for our priest,

Who is our brother and friend,

Amen
