Lord Jesus Christ, we pray that all priests in the world follow your example as the Good Shepherd. Give them grace and wisdom to know their flocks and to love them as You do. Grant them the courage and persistence to teach, to sanctify, to govern, and to lead all to the fullness of life that can only be found in You.

Through the intercession of Your Mother Mary, help all priests to grow in holiness and happiness and to share your peace in their ministry this day.

Thank you, Jesus, for the gift of priesthood.

Amen
