Prayer to St. John Vianney

Patron Saint of Parish Priests
St. John Vianney
O holy priest of Ars, you had such an overwhelming love for Christ in the Blessed Sacrament that you prayed daily for hours in His Presence. O patron saint of parish priests, may your example enkindle in them a love for Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. By your prayers, never let them doubt Christ's Real Presence, but obtain for them a firm faith rooted in Him. Keep priests, religious, and seminarians under your continual protection, that they may be supported by your example and assistance and be faithfully devoted to Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. May their lives reflect their belief in our Lord's abiding presence with us. O St. John Vianney, by the power of your intercession, give us priests devoted to the Holy Sacrament of the Altar.

This was prayer was in the Sept. 21st bulletin. I just love St. John Vianney, and what a wonderful picture I was able to find. His body is incorrupt, a special miracle granted by God to certain saints for our benefit. Please pray for all the priests in the Diocese. They are greatly in need of our prayers always, but especially at this time of TRIAL.
