Reflection: The Mass: priest and people offer sacrifice - Bishop Edward Slattery

O Jesus, we pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests; for your priests labouring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for your tempted priests; for your lonely priests; for your young priests, for your dying priests.

But above all I recommend to you the priest dearest to me: the priest who baptised me; the priest who absolved me from my sins; the priest at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me your Body and Blood in Holy Communion, and the priest who taught and instructed me.

O Jesus, keep them close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.

JOHN SCHMID
Boronia, Vic
