"A priest goes to Heaven or a priest goes to Hell with a thousand people behind." - St. John Vianney
On this day, we honor St. John Vianney, the patron saint of priests. Let us dedicate all of our prayers and gratitude to all of the priests who selflessly serve their communities. May their faith and dedication guide us to the righteous path of our Lord. Let us all give thanks and greet our parish priest Fr. Loddy Garcia for being our good shepherd, a very Happy Priest day! Happy Priest Day to all the priests!
Let us pray, Merciful and almighty Father, we thank You for the gift of our priests, who selflessly devote themselves to be good shepherds. You have graced us with Your love and blessings through them. Bless them with compassion and set their hearts ablaze with passion and service for their community. Grant them wisdom to teach us Your way and strength to keep leading Your people. Inspire them with Your charity and compassion for Your children. Allow them to feel the true joy in serving You and their community. We humbly ask this, in the name of Jesus Your son and our Priest forever, Amen.
