“We pray for priests who are sick, that Our Blessed Lord restore them to health and vigor so that praising Him they may
be able to continue to labor in promoting His greater honor and glory and the salvation of souls. “
Novena 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.

O most holy Heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore Thee, I
love Thee and with a lively sorrow for my sins, I offer Thee this poor
heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to Thy
will. Grant, good Jesus, that I may live in Thee and for Thee. Protect
me in the midst of danger; comfort me in my afflictions; give me health
of body, assistance in my temporal needs, Thy blessing on all that I
do, and the grace of a holy death. Within Thy Heart I place my every
care. In every need let me come to Thee with humble trust saying, Heart
of Jesus help me.

Feast of Corpus Christi
by VP
Posted on Thursday June 20, 2019 at 12:00AM in Prayers
St. Thomas of Aquinas Hymn:
praise thy Leader and thy Shepherd
in hymns and canticles.
As much as thou canst, so much darest thou,
for He is above all praise,
nor art thou able to praise Him enough.
Today there is given us a special theme of praise,
the Bread both living and life-giving,
which, it is not to be doubted,
was given to the assembly of the brethren,
twelve in number, at the table of the holy Supper.
Let our praise be full and sounding;
let the jubilation of the soul
be joyous and becoming;
for that solemn day is now being celebrated,
on which is commemorated the
first institution of this table.
At this table of the new King,
the new Pasch of the New Law
puts an end to the ancient Pasch.
The new supplants the old,
truth puts to flight the shadow,
day banishes night.
What Christ did at that Supper,
the same He commanded
to be done in remembrance of Him.
Taught by His sacred precepts,
we consecrate bread and wine
into the Victim of salvation.
This is the dogma given to Christians,
thy at bread is changed into Flesh
and wine into Blood.
What thou dost not understand,
what thou dost not see, a lively faith confirms
in a supernatural manner.
Under different species in externals
signs only, and not in reality,
wondrous substances lie hidden.
Flesh is food, Blood is drink:
nevertheless Christ remains entire
under each species.
By the recipient the whole is received;
He is neither cut, broken, nor divided.
One receives Him; a thousand receive Him:
as much as the thousand receive,
so much does the one receive;
though eaten He is not diminished.
The good receive Him, the bad receive Him,
but with what unequal consequences
of life or death.
It is death to the unworthy, life to the worthy:
behold then of a like reception,
how unlike may be the result!
When the Sacrament is broken,
doubt not, but remember,
that there is just as much hidden in a fragment,
as there is in the whole.
There is no division of the substance,
only a breaking of the species takes place,
by which neither the state nor stature
of the substance signified is diminished.
Lo, the Bread of Angels
is made the food of earthly
pilgrims: truly it is the Bread of children,
let it not be cast to dogs.
It was prefigured in types,
—when Isaac was immolated,
when the Paschal Lamb was sacrificed,
when Manna was given to the fathers.
O Good Shepherd, True Bread,
O Jesus, have mercy
on us: feed us and protect us:
make us see good things in
the land of the living.
Thou who knowest all things
and canst do all things,
who here feedest us mortals,
make us there be Thy guests, the co-heirs,
and companions of the heavenly citizens.
Amen.

Saint Anthony, glory of the Church and
hammer of heretics, pray for our Holy Father, our bishops, our priests,
our Religious Orders, that, through their pious zeal and apostolic
labors, infidels, heretics, and all those outside the true Church of
Christ may be converted and, united in faith, give greater glory to God.
Amen.

For a Priest on His First Mass
by VP
Posted on Saturday June 08, 2019 at 12:18PM in Prayers
O Holy Spirit, Your servant who is about
to celebrate this Mass shares the holy priesthood of Jesus and Your
apostolate. Enkindle in his heart the flames that transformed the
disciples in the Upper Room. Let him be no longer an ordinary man but a
man living to transfuse the divine life into the souls of others. Give
him an ardent desire for the inner life as well as Your consolation and
strength. Enable him to see that even here below there is no true
happiness unless his life partakes of Yours and that of the Heart of
Jesus in the bosom of the Father.
Amen.
