St. Stanislaus Papczynski, Pray for Priests

Saint Stanislaus Papczynski, pray for priests. Pray that they may be holy, steadfast, and brave, facing down the wolves and defending the sheep. Pray for them as they share in all the mysteries of Christ's life, joyful, luminous, sorrowful, and glorious; that those who have abused others may repent, confess, and do penance; and that those who are innocent may bear up under the weight of the sins of their brethren. Pray for priests, now and forever, asking God to send them the Holy Spirit in abundance. May they ever be under the mantle of Mary, the Immaculate Conception. Amen.
