A Rosary for Priests

Way of the Cross for Priests ( Especially for those who are suffering persecution)

Oh, how sad would be the state of society were the Popes, the bishops and priests to be banished from the earth! The bonds that unite the husband and wife, the child and the parent, the friend and the friend would be broken. Peace and justice would flee from the earth. Robbery, murder, hatred, lust, and all the other crimes condemned by the Gospel, would prevail. Faith would no longer elevate the souls of men to heaven. Hope, the sweet consoler of the afflicted, of the widow and the orphan, would flee away, and in he stead would reign black despair, terror, and suicide. Where would we find the sweet virtue of charity, if the Popes, the bishops and priests were to disappear forever? Where would we find that charity which consoles the poor and forsaken, which lovingly dies the tears of the widow and the orphan; that charity which soothes the sick man in his sufferings, and binds up the wounds of the bleeding defender of his country? Where would we find that charity which casts a spark of divine fire into the hearts of so many religious, bidding them abandon home, friends, and everything that is near and dear to them in this world , to go among strangers, among savage tribes, and gain there, in return for their heroism, nothing but outrage, suffering and death?

Where, I ask, would we find this charity, if the Popes, the bishops and priests were to disappear forever?

Leave a parish for many years without a priest, and the people thereof will become the blind victims of error, of superstition, and of all kinds of vices.

Show me an age, a country, a nation without priests, and I will show you an age, a country, a nation without morals, without virtue. Yes, if "Religion, Science, Liberty, and Justice, Principle and Right, " are not empty sounds - if they have a meaning, they owe their energetic existence in the world to the "salt of the earth" to the Popes, bishops and priests.

According to the writings of Mother Catherine Mectilde de Bar, the Day of Great Reparation takes place on the Thursday 
of Sexagesima week, this year today on February 28. Mère Catherine was a French Benedictine who lived in 17th century 
and was the foundress of the institute of the Benedictines of the Perpetual Adoration.

Holy Hour of Adoration and Reparation for the sins of Priests

From Fr. Kirby's page: 
(http://vultuschristi.org/index.php/2019/02/reparation-3/#respond):

"In her meditations for the Feast of Reparation, solemnized on the Thursday of Sexagesima week, 
Mother Mectilde de Bar  reflects on the sins of those who serve in the sanctuaries of the Lord. 
The Church, in her desolation, cries, O you who have some love for me, you who know all the glory
 that my Bridegroom deserves, see and consider if there be any sorrow like unto mine. O you, 
ministers of the Lord and friends of the Bridegroom, the Bride address these laments to you.
Hasten to relieve her pain by making reparation for the affronts to Jesus Christ; give Him the glory 
that others would strip from Him.
    Having once shown the disorders of the children of Israel to the prophet Jeremias, the Lord led
 him to the entrance of the temple; He ordered him to pierce an opening in its wall, and to look upon
 what was going on inside. The prophet obeyed, and says that therein he saw even greater abominations.

    Who, alas, does not grasp that this is but a figure? Who does not know that the sanctuary is the theater 
par excellence of the Lord’s ignominies? Who does not know that, alongside of priests who are fervent 
and truly divine, there are priests who are lukewarm and indifferent, priests who are wicked […]? 
And so, the Church, in calling [us] to reparation, begs us not to forget the outrages made against the
 glory of her Divine Spouse by His own ministers. Yours it is, she says, to expiate the sins of the Sanctuary;
 yours it is to bear the weight of the sins of the priesthood.

    Let us enter into these intentions of the Church, and united in spirit with what remains on earth of fervent
 Christians, and of priests pressed by the charity of Jesus Christ, let us strive to repair the outrages of
 indifference and impiety; let us lift up the throne of the Lord, and offer Him the tribute of homage that, by
 so many titles, He deserves."
