Priest says Mass during war 🙌🏻
~ Pray for Priests ~
Prayer for a priest as he receives Holy Communion:
O Lord, may Thou find shelter and rest gently within the heart of thy Priest. Make him, O Lord, a priest according to thy Heart: meek, humble, zealous, so that all he does will be for Thine honor and glory. Mold him into a man of prayer and labor, insensible to earthly things, and sensible only to Thy love and to the graces of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
“When people wish to destroy religion, they begin by attacking the priest, because where there is no longer any priest there is no sacrifice, and where there is no longer any sacrifice there is no religion.”
If I were to meet a priest and an angel, I should salute the priest before I saluted the angel. The latter is the friend of God; but the priest holds His place. St. Teresa kissed the ground where a priest had passed. When you see a priest, you should say, “There is he who made me a child of God, and opened Heaven to me by holy Baptism; he who purified me after I had sinned; who gives nourishment to my soul.“ At the sight of a church tower, you may say, “What is there in that place?” “The Body of Our Lord.“ “Why is He there?” “Because a priest has been there, and has said holy Mass.”
St. John Vianney
