Prayer for Priests

Prayer for Priests
by St. Therese of Lisieux
O Jesus, eternal Priest,
keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart,
where none may touch them.
Keep unstained their anointed hands,
which daily touch Your Sacred Body.
Keep unsullied their lips,
daily purpled with your Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly their hearts,
sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood.
Let Your 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 minister be their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and
everlasting crown. Amen.

教宗将于本周五于耶稣圣心节开启司铎年，值此恩宠之年到来之际，诚邀大家为所有的司铎献上祈祷。圣女小德肋撒为司铎祈祷的经文，非常优美，我们不妨以此经文每日为司铎祈祷。

拙译如下:

为司铎祈祷诵

圣女小德肋撒

温州教区方言版，调式为（3 3 2 1 2， 1 2 3 3 2 1 6）

吾主耶稣基利斯督，永恒之大司祭。
求祢把祢的司铎们，置于祢的圣心内，无人能伤害他们。
求祢保护他们傅过圣油的双手，即是每日取拿/触摸祢圣体的双手，纯洁无玷。
求祢亦保护他们，每日领受祢宝血的口，免受玷污。
我们也求祢保护他们因领受司铎之尊位的心身，使之远离尘世的污秽，纯洁无罪。
求祢使他们生活在祢的圣爱内，并护佑他们，远离尘世的喧嚣，免受世俗的腐蚀。
吾主耶稣，求祢以丰厚的恩宠，降福他们所做的工作，使他们所照顾的羊群，成为他们在世的喜乐与安慰，并成为他们日后在天获取永远的冠冕。阿们!
