"The priests must announce truth. Hence those priests who think they are rendering a service to the Church and who with human prudence allow large concessions to false science under the fatal illusion of being able the more easily to win over erring ones, are making a serious mistake." -- Saint Pius X ( Recipe for the Holiness of Priests )
Prayer to the Sacred Heart for Priests: Remember, O most loving Heart of Jesus,
that they for whom I pray are those for whom You prayed so earnestly the
night before Your death. These are they to whom You look to continue
with You in Your sorrows when others forsake You, who share Your griefs
and have inherited your persecutions, according to Your word: That the
servant is not greater than his Lord.
Remember, O Heart of
Jesus, that they are the objects of the worldʼs hatred and Satanʼs
deadliest snares. Keep them then, 0 Jesus, in the safe citadel of Your
Sacred Heart and there let them be sanctified in truth.
May they
be one with you and one among themselves, and grant that multitudes may
be brought through their word to believe in You and love You. Amen.
To the Sacred Heart of Jesus: O Sacred Heart of Jesus, in Thine
excessive love for men, in order to redeem souls and save them for
heaven, Thou didst shed Thy Precious Blood. With all the fervor of our
hearts we beg of Thee to accompany with Thy blessing and Thy grace the
labors of priests for the salvation of souls. Grant that with all zeal
they may preach Thy sacred doctrine, that they may move to repentance
the hearts of sinners, that they may strengthen the good in virtue.
Keep far from our congregation the assaults of the evil one; ward off
all scandal and seduction, enmities and envy, uncharitable and bad
example. Let Thy love and Thy grace abide in all hearts, that we may
strive with great fervor to reach our eternal goal, to avoid sin, to
practice virtue, and to encourage each other by a devout life, so that
in the everlasting happiness of heaven above we may rejoice in union
with Thee. Amen.
O Divine Heart of Jesus, convert sinners, save the dying, deliver the holy souls in purgatory.
