Pray for Priests
The discussion in the Catholic Spitfire Grill this evening turned to the day's ability (or inability) to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession). Several members we unable to receive the Sacrament today because the there were more penitents than the priest could hear in the allotted time. We need to pray not only for vocation to the religious life but also for those priests that they would have great fervor for those who desire the sacraments and for the strength and grace to administer them.
From St. Faustina:
Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyardupon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing. For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen.
