Novena
for Priests
Begins May 31, 2003
Jesus,
Good Shepherd, You sent us the Holy Spirit to guide Your Church
and lead her faithful to You through the ministry of Your priests.
Through
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, grant to Your priests wisdom
in leading, faithfulness in teaching, and holiness in guarding
Your sacred Mysteries.
As
they cry out with all the faithful, "Abba, Father!"
may Your priests be ever more closely identified with You in
Your divine Sonship and offer their own lives with You, the one
saving Victim.
Make
them helpful brothers of one another, and understanding fathers
of all Your people.
On this Pentecost Sunday, renew in Your priests deeper faith,
greater trust in You, childlike reliance on our Mother Mary,
and unwavering fidelity to the Holy Father and his bishops.
Holy
Mary, intercede for your priests.
Saint Joseph, protect them.
Saint Michael, defend them.
Saint John Vianney, pray for them.
With Ecclesiastical Approval
Most Reverend Daniel R. Jenky, C.S.C., Bishop of Peoria

Novena por los
Sacerdotes
Comienza el 31 de Mayo de 2003
Jesús,
Buen Pastor,
Tú nos enviaste al Espíritu Santo para guiar a Tu
Iglesia
y conducirla fielmente hacia Ti por medio del ministerio de Tus
sacerdotes.
Por inspiración
del Espíritu Santo, concede a Tus sacerdotes
sabiduría para guiar a Tu pueblo,
fidelidad en la enseñanza
y santidad en preservar Tus sagrados Misterios.
Mientras
claman con todos los fieles: ¡Abba, Padre!
haz que Tus sacerdotes se identifiquen cada vez más Contigo
en Tu filiación divina
y que ofrezcan sus propias vidas en unión Contigo, única
Víctima salvadora.
Haz de
ellos hermanos que se ayuden unos a otros
y padres comprensivos para todo Tu pueblo.
En este
Domingo de Pentecostés, renueva en Tus sacerdotes la fe
profunda
y una mayor confianza en Ti,
haz que puedan abandonarse como niños en nuestra Madre
María
y que tengan una fidelidad inquebrantable al Santo Padre y a sus
obispos.
Santa María,
intercede por tus sacerdotes.
San José, protégelos.
San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndelos.
San Juan María Vianney, ruega por ellos.
Con Aprobación
Eclesiástica
Revmo. Daniel R. Jenky, C.S.C.
