“Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration with exposition needs a great push. People ask me: ‘What will convert America and save the world?’ My answer is prayer. What we need is for every parish to come before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in holy hours of prayer.”
Mother Teresa 's Prayer for Priests
Mary, Mother of Jesus,
Throw your mantle of purity over our priests.
Protect them, guide them and keep them in your heart.
Be a mother to them especially in times of discouragement and loneliness.
Love them and let them belong completely to Jesus.
Like Jesus, they too are your sons, so keep their hearts pure and virginal.
Keep their minds filled with Jesus, and put Jesus always on their lips,
so that He is the one they offer to sinners and to all they meet.
Mary, Mother of Jesus, be their Mother, loving them and bringing them joy.
Take special care of sick and dying priests and the ones most tempted.
Remember how they spent their youth and old age,
their entire lives serving and giving all to Jesus.
Mary, bless them and keep a special place for them in your heart.
Give them a piece of your heart, so beautiful and pure and immaculate,
so full of love and humility so that they, too, may grow in the likeness of Christ.
Dear Mary, make them humble like you and holy like Jesus.
Amen.

Heavenly Father, we come before you today and humbly ask you to send the Holy Spirit to lift up Amrit and his wife who is suffering from gastro issues and always in pain. In the name of Jesus, we ask for healing. Holy Spirit, please bless the doctors who treat Amrit’s wife with the gifts of wisdom and knowledge. Enlighten their intellects and guide their decisions so that Amrit’s wife might improve her blood count, gain weight, and heal. Jesus, we ask you to comfort Amrit’s wife with the virtues of faith, hope, and love so that she may have peace and not be consumed with anxiety. Protect her from all evil and grant her peace. We ask all this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit and by the intercession of the Virgin Mary and Saint Mother Theresa of Calcutta. AMEN.
