# Prayer for Priests (St. John Paul II) *A Marian Prayer for Priests - Adapted from St. John Paul II* O Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ and Mother of Priests, receive this day the prayers of Your children on behalf of all priests. Intercede for them before Your Son, that they may be strengthened in their vocation, protected from all harm, and made holy in their service to the Church. Cover them with Your maternal mantle, shield them from temptation, and guide them ever closer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. O Queen of Apostles, bless those who bring the Eucharist to the faithful, that they may imitate the humility and holiness of Christ, whom they serve. Amen. --- > "Order of the Holy Cross, _Chalice of Strength: Prayers for Priests_ (Carrollton, OH: Opus Sanctorum Angelorum, 2014)." <!-- prayer-nav --> --- ← [[prayer-for-priests-pius-xii|Prayer for Priests (Pope Pius XII)]] | [[priests-vocations-prayers|🤵‍♂️ Prayers for Priests and Priestly Vocations]] | [[prayer-for-priests-st-therese|Prayer for Priests (St. Therese)]] →
