O Jesus, Eternal High Priest, keep
all Thy priests within the shelter of Thy
Sacred Heart where none may harm them.
Keep unstained their annointed
hands which daily touch Thy Sacred
Body. Keep unsullied their lips purpled
with Thy Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their
hearts sealed with the sublime marks
of Thy glorious priesthood.

Let Thy holy love surround them and
shield them from the world's contagion.
Bless their labors with abundant
fruit and may the souls to whom they
ministered here below be their joy and
consolation and in Heaven their
beautiful and everlasting Crown. Amen.
O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray
for us; Obtain for us a number of holy
priests. Amen.
