Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Our priest, Fr Marian, turns 50 on July 23rd and our family would like to pray a Novena for him in the 9 days leading up to his birthday (so we need to choose one quickly!
Can someone give me an idea of what would be a suitable Novena? He is a lovely Polish priest with a very sharp theological mind and is sent many seminarians each year for personal tutelage. He is also a very humble and unassuming man with a merciful heart - a real shepherd.

Thanks!

Prayer for priests

O God, Who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty and the salvation of mankind; grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers and the stewards of His Mysteries, may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry which they have received. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

I am praying for your priest, Jenny! If you would like more novena options, feel free to post your request at Life in the Domestic Church.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful prayer, Ruth.

Love,
