HAPPY BIRTHDAY ST. JOHN MARIE VIANNEY AND ST. CHARBEL MAKHLOUF

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS BY ST. JOHN MARIE VIANNEY

God please give your Church today many more priests after your own heart. May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd. May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance; Being examples of humility and poverty; Shining models of holiness; Tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God; Zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his Mother Be the twin fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry. Amen.

ST. CHARBEL MAKHLOUF - PRAYER

Lord, infinitely Saint and Glorified in Thy Saints, Who has inspired the Saint Monk and Hermit Charbel to live and die in the path of Jesus Christ and gave him the strength to detach himself from the world in order to make triumph, in his hermitage, the monastic virtues: – We implore Thee to bestow upon us the grace to love Thee and serve Thee following his example.

God Almighty, Who has manifested the power of the St. Charbel's intercession, by the numerous miracles and favors, grant us the Grace (…) by his intercession. Amen.

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be…
