Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your clemency hear and answer me. Amen.
Our Lady, Mother of the Church, please intercede for the Church in this time of great trials.
Mary, Queen of the Clergy, Please intercede for our clergy and for their holiness of life.

Prayer for Priests Who Have Become Unfaithful to Their Vocation

Enlighten their minds and strengthen their wills, that they may turn away from all sin and error and come back to Thy holy altar and to Thy people. O most compassionate Savior! Remember that Thou didst once redeem the souls of Thine erring priests with Thy Precious Blood and in infinite preferential love didst impress upon them the indelible character of the priesthood. Put wholly to shame those miserable helpers of Satan who lay snares for the virtue of priests and endanger the holy ideal of the priesthood.
Most
graciously accept our prayers and sacrifices for poor priests who have
gone astray and hear our earnest petition. Amen
