Devotions

"Liturgy is the exercise of the priesthood of Jesus Christ", "the summit to which all action of the Church is directed; it is also the fount from which all her power flows". This constitutes an ambit in which the priest should have particular awareness of being a minister and faithfully obeying the Church. "The ordering and guidance of the sacred liturgy depends solely on the authority of the Church, namely, that of the Apostolic See, and, as provided by law, that of the diocesan Bishop". Therefore, in such matter, he must not add, remove or change anything by his own initiative."

-- Congregation for the Clergy (Directory of the Ministry and the Life of Priests)

Saint Faustina For The Souls of Priests and Religious ( St. Faustina)

Most Merciful Jesus, from whom comes all that is good, increase Your grace in men and women consecrated to Your service, that they may perform worthy works of mercy; and that all who see them may glorify the Father of Mercy who is in heaven.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the company of chosen ones in Your vineyard upon the souls of priests and religious; and endow them with the strength of Your blessing.

For the love of the Heart of Your Son in which they are enfolded, impart to them Your power and light, that they may be able to guide others in the way of salvation and with one voice sing praise to Your boundless mercy for ages without end. Amen

Saint Faustina
