1 Grace that Reigns ONE BODY in Christ ONE VOICE PRAYERS FOR OUR PRIESTS

2 EXPOSITION OF THE HOLY EUCHARIST O Salutaris Hostia O Salutaris Hostia Quae coeli pandis ostium Bella premunt hostilia Da robur fer auxilium Uni trinoque Domino Sit sempi terna gloria Qui vitam sine termino Nobis donet in patria Amen. HYMN Prayer of St. Francis Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring your love. Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord And where there s doubt, true faith in you. Make me a channel of your peace. Where there s despair in life, let me bring hope. Where there is darkness, only light And where there s sadness, ever joy. Oh, Master grant that I may never seek So much to be consoled as to console To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your peace It is in pardoning that we are pardoned In giving to ourselves that we receive And in dying that we re born to eternal life. PRAYER FOR PRIESTS BY THE LAY FAITHFUL Do not judge, and you will not be judged, because the judgments that you give will be the judgments you will get Matthew 7:1 5 Lord, close our eyes to the images or words that fail to uplift our priests. Close our ears to those words that we hear that are not of Jesus. Close our mouths to all negative words that we may speak of our priests. *Response for prayers below: LORD, HEAR US To refute our own judgments toward the priesthood* To correct our own biases* To refrain from gossiping about our priests* To surrender our own selfi shness and negativity towards the Church* To strengthen our mercy and forgiveness towards our priests* To strengthen our empathy and sympathy towards our priests* To minimize our misunderstanding of the priesthood* To enhance our patience towards our priests* Lord, we ask You, because we are the hands and feet of our diocese. We ask You for Your mercy so that we will be safeguarded against confusion. Lord, we ask for strength, so we can continue to stand behind our faithful priests with love and unyielding faith and courage to help defend them when they are in battle. Amen.

3 A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS (For our parishes in the Archdiocese of Vancouver) Lord Jesus. We, though many, are one Body in Christ (Romans 12:5). We know that You will hear our prayers. You have chosen your priests from among us. Strengthen your faithful servants to love you more, to proclaim your word and to act in your name. Help them to discover your words and your wisdom through the Gospel. Enable them to listen to You with their hearts and to fi nd a sense of completeness and wholeness through You. In their discouraging moments, help them to remain faithful to Your banquet. Give them strength when they fi nd themselves weak, doubting, discouraged, persecuted or abandoned. May they live the fullness of Your gospel message. When they sit at the foot of Your cross, or in the Garden of Gethsemane, give them strength, wisdom, joy and a deep sense of their belonging to Your banquet and to the banquet of their communities. May they know God s interior love for them. Amen. A LITANY FOR PRIESTS (Please see attached handout) We consecrate them to the Blessed Virgin Mary and we ask St. Michael the Archangel for his protection. We also ask St. John Vianney, St. Padre Pio and St. Pope John Paul II for their intercession. BENEDICTION Tantum ergo Sacramentum Veneremur cernui: Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui: Praestet fi des supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et iubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque Sit et benedictio: Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio. Amen. THE DIVINE PRAISES Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God & true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most Holy. Blessed be her Holy & Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her Glorious Assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be Saint Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His angels and in His Saints.
