An Invocation to Obtain from God the Sanctification of the Clergy
Jesus, Savior of the world, sanctify Thy priests and sacred ministers. (An indulgence of 300 days. Raccolta #656)
O Jesus, humbled in the Eucharist to be the source and center of charity of the Catholic Church and the strength of souls, we offer Thee our prayers, our actions, our sufferings on behalf of Thy priests, to the end that each day may behold the wider extension of the Kingdom of Thy Sacred Heart. (An indulgence of 300 days once a day. Raccolta #658)
An Act of Oblation
Almighty and merciful God, who didst bestow upon blessed John Mary wonderful pastoral zeal and a great fervor for prayer and penance; grant, we beseech Thee, that by his example and intercession our parish priests may be able to gain the souls of their brethren for Christ, and with them attain to everlasting glory. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. (An indulgence of 300 days. Raccolta #672. Taken from the Collect on the feast day of St. John Mary Vianney, the Curé of Ars.)
A Prayer for Parish Priests
The faithful who on…the Birthdays of the Holy Apostles [June 29th – the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul], in some church…perform the devout exercise of offering to God the holy Sacrifice of the Mass and Holy Communion, as well as all their prayers and good works done that day, in behalf of the priests and sacred ministers of the Church, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest, may sanctify them and make them to be priests after His own Heart, may gain a plenary indulgence, if, in addition, they make their confession and pray for the intentions of all true sovereign pontiffs. (Raccolta #657)
