Join us every third Sunday at 9:30am for the Rosary for Vocations. We will gather in the front of Saint Stephen's Church (before the altar of the the Blessed Mary). If you are unable to be with us, please set aside that time to pray with us.
A Prayer for Priests
credited to Saint Thérèse of Lisieuxto
O Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep all Thy priests within the shelter of Thy Sacred Heart, where none may harm them.
Keep unstained their anointed 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 are ministered, be on earth their joy and consolation, and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown.
Amen.
