Daily Prayers for Priests: 

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of the priesthood. 

We particularly thank you for the priests here in the Diocese 

 Of Shreveport. We ask that you draw them ever closer 

to the Sacred Heart of Your Son Jesus. May they experience 

the depth of communion with you that you long for.  Grant 

them stillness Lord, that they might perceive your presence. 

Heighten their spiritual senses that they might see and hear 

you ever more clearly and feel you ever more deeply. 

Remind them of their call. Remind them of all that you have 

promised them and they promised you on the sacred day 

of their ordination. We ask for miracles of renewal in their 

priestly vocation, Lord. Renew them in your love and 

strengthen their resolve to love and serve you. Strengthen 

their priestly fraternity, Lord, and strengthen the bond between 

the priests and the Laity, that together Lord, we all might be 

ONE as you are One. In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
