Next Sunday is Priesthood Sunday

A PRAYER FOR PRIESTS AND SEMINARIANS

Almighty God, we praise and thank you for the gift of the holy priesthood. Bless our priests of the Diocese of Cleveland. Through the intercession of Saint Paul may the grace and peace of Jesus Christ deepen their love for our Church, increase their zeal for the Gospel, and strengthen their faith in the sacred mysteries they celebrate. Bless our seminarians as they discern your call through prayer, study, and pastoral service.

Together, may our priests and seminarians be a genuine witness to your divine life and inspire more men to accept your call to ordained ministry.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
