# Prayer for Seminarians and Priests Jesus, our great High Priest, I thank you for the gift of your priesthood in the Church. I pray for all priests and those in formation for the priesthood, especially for John Watson. Fill them with the joy of your Holy Spirit as they follow you, the Good Shepherd, giving their lives daily for those you have called them to serve. Let your love fill and satisfy their hearts, and make them ardent yet gentle heralds of the Gospel and tender ministers of your mercy, especially toward those most in need of it. Jesus, gentle and humble of heart, make their hearts more like yours! Amen. Our Father..., Hail Mary..., Glory be... St. John Vianney, patron of priests, Pray for us! Amen.
