First Friday: Prayer to the Sacred Heart for Priests
by VP
Posted on Friday February 07, 2020 at 08:56AM in Prayers
Sacred Heart Stained Glass, Raleigh NC
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.

Look down also with compassion on those deluded souls, who under the name of Christians, have gone astray from the One True Fold, of the One Head and Shepherd, Jesus Christ.
O bring them back to Thy Church and to Thee! Dispel their darkness; let them see how passion, and the wiles of the enemy, have blinded and misled them; remove their prejudices; take from them all pride, obstinacy, human respect, and self-conceit. Give them humility, a love of truth, and a strong grace to embrace it, in spite of all the opposition of the world, the flesh, and the Devil.
Gratitude

Praise and glory be to Thee, O most sweet Jesus, for the infinite love wherewith Thou dost vouchsafe to descend from heaven in the holy Mass to change bread and wine into Thy sacred flesh and blood, to conceal Thyself under these contemptible appearances and by means of this boundless humility to appease the just wrath of God and avert the chastisements due to us.
With our whole hearts we thank Thee for this inestimable benefit. With all the powers of our soul we praise and magnify Thee, and we beseech the hosts of heaven to unite their voices to ours and compensate for what is defective in our giving of thanks. We humble pray Thee to enlighten our minds, that we may clearly comprehend the saving mysteries which Thou dost daily enact upon our altars, that we may venerate them aright, and profit by them for our eternal salvation.
Amen.

Wednesday in Ember Week of Advent: the day Christ was betrayed (Fast and half-abstinence)
by VP
Posted on Wednesday December 18, 2019 at 12:00AM in Prayers
"The Observance of ember-days is of great antiquity in the Church. Their connection with the ordination of the ministers of religion renders them particularly worthy the regard of the faithful. We cannot be too deeply impressed with the blessing granted a people, whose priests are according to Godʼs own heart. To obtain such, no humiliation should be deemed too great; no supplication should be neglected.
Whilst therefore we thank God for the fruits of the earth, and humble ourselves for the sins we have committed, we should beg God to supply his Church with worthy pastors." ( St. Vincentʼs Manual, 1854.)
Let us, therefore, revive Embers days!
Let us again pray, fast, and abstain for more faithful priests!

An Embertide Prayer
Almighty God, Who by Thy people has caused Thy holy religion to be acknowledged and spread, fill us all, whatever our calling, with such glowing love for Thee that boldly and untiringly we may advance Thy truth among men. Increase the laborers in Thy vineyard: give to all Thy ministers, bishops, other clergy, and their flocks, courage, patience and charity. Support and comfort us under all suffering and opposition, and at last, having turned many to righteousness, receive us safe from all defilement unto Thyself: through Jesus Christ, Our Savior. Amen

O God, Who through the sufferings and
death of Thine Only Begotten Son, didst redeem the race of men, grant,
we beseech Thee, that through the sufferings which I now humbly and
patiently bear out of love for Thee and in union with Jesus Christ, Thy
Son, Thou mayest be pleased to call to the sacred priesthood and the
religious life generous youths who will dedicate themselves to the
sublime vocation of bringing to souls the saving merits of the Passion
and Death of the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who livest and reignest
forever and ever.
Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Angels for Parishes

Posted on Wednesday October 02, 2019 at 11:30AM in Prayers
All you legions and choirs of Angels,
please make haste to come to the aid and defense of our One Holy Roman
Catholic Church.
Led by St. Michael, may She be protected from destruction within by all modernistic attempts that try to diminish the true presence of God and take away His proper and due respect!
In
particular, come to the aid of my parish (name your parish) that it may
remain or be remade to be a place of reverence and a stronghold from
which the One True Triune God may continue to lead and strengthen us.
Amen.

O glorious Saint Michael, guardian and
defender of the Church of Jesus Christ, come to the assistance of the
Church, against which the powers of Hell are unchained, guard with
especial care her august Head, and obtain that for him and for us the

O glorious Archangel Saint

the demon, assist us especially at the hour of death; obtain for us a
favorable judgment, and the happiness of beholding God face to face for
endless ages. Amen
