The Holy Mass is the source and summit of Catholic life and at the heart of the priesthood. At every retreat, Holy Masses are offered for the spiritual renewal of the priesthood in Our Lady of Priests Chapel on the grounds of our retreat center. The priests on retreat also spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament, drawing strength from Jesus as they discern God's will for the future of their own priesthood.
O Lord Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest and exemplar of priestly holiness and dignity, we are grateful to You for having chosen certain men for the ministerial priesthood by which You continue to instruct, admonish, forgive, nourish and strengthen Your Church.
We are sorely aware of the great need of priests in our time to be confirmed in their sacred calling so that they may continue confidently in their ministry of mediating Your graces to men and of representing them before Your august majesty.
Relying on the intercession of Holy Mary, Mother of priests, and of Saint Joseph, Her beloved spouse, we beg Your help for the priests who are the most troubled, tempted, discouraged and suffering.
May the noble and sacred office of the priesthood, which has too often been reviled and scorned, regain its admirable stature in the sight of all men for Your greater honor and glory, and for the sanctification and salvation of Your people.
Amen
