PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH FOR PRIESTS

St. Joseph's Church - Molokai

Blessed Joseph,
you both saved and served the Word of God,
and the Living Bread come down from heaven.
Look down upon the priests of the Church
which had its origins in the household
over which you presided,
and pray for them --
that they, too, serve perseveringly
the people entrusted to their care --
may teach them faithfully the Word of God,
and break for them daily the Bread of Life.
Strengthen them in faith and in hope,
console them in hardship and disappointment;
and pray your Jesus
to crown their service of Him on earth
with eternal life with Him
in the happiness of heaven for ever. AMEN
