Priest’s Prayer to the Divine Master

O Jesus, Divine Master, I thank and bless your most loving Heart for having instituted the priesthood and for my vocation. Priests are sent by you as you were sent by the Father. To them you have entrusted the treasures of your doctrine, of your law, of your grace, and souls themselves.
O Jesus, Eternal High Priest, be for me Way and Truth and Life. May I always be salt that purifies and preserves, light for the world, the city placed on the mountaintop. May everyone love your priests, listen to them, and let themselves be guided on the paths leading to heaven.
Today I renew the resolutions and commitments of my holy ordination, and I offer them to you with humility and confidence, with the will to be more faithful to you.
Desiring to live my priesthood fully, I want to prepare myself for a total consecration to you in the commitment to observe the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty, and obedience.
O Jesus, Divine Master, grant that I may one day find myself in heaven with a multitude of those who are saved. Amen.
