Traditional Roman Catholicism
God our Father, You have chosen Your Son, Jesus Christ, to reveal Yourself to us. You
have chosen Your Church to show us Your love through Him. You have chosen
___________, your son, to be a priest as a sign of that love to Your people. We pray that
the Holy Spirit continue to fill him with Your peace and joy as he prepares for the holy
priesthood. We pray that through his priesthood he may proclaim the wonder of Your
faithfulness and love to all through Jesus Christ our Lord! Amen.

(Please pray this prayer for a seminarian until their priesthood ordination. Thanks!)
Daily Prayer for a Seminarian Until Their
Priesthood Ordination

chose Me, but I who
chose you
(John 15:16)."
Prayer for Seminarians


O Lord Jesus Christ, great High Priest, I pray that You call many worthy souls
to Your

holy priesthood.    Enlighten the Bishop in the choice of candidates, the
Spiritual Director

in molding them, and the professors in instructing them.   Lead the seminarians
daily

in Your unerring footsteps; so that they may become priests who are models of
purity,

possessors of wisdom and heroes of sacrifice; steeped in humility and aflame
with love

for God and man; apostles of Your glory and sanctifiers of souls.   Amen.

Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us.
