Next week, the priests of the Diocese of Peoria will be together in Wisconsin for a convocation. Please pray for them:
Prayer for Priests During Convocation
We thank you, Lord Jesus Christ, for those who have responded to your call to priestly ministry. As our ordained priests of the Diocese of Peoria gather in convocation this week, we ask that you hear our prayers. Fill them all with the sure knowledge of your love. By offering yourself to the Father on the altar of the Cross, you poured out the Holy Spirit onto your priestly people a share of your redeeming sacrifice. Open their hearts to the power and consolation of the Holy Spirit. Grant that they may be even more conformed to you, divine Master and Shepherd, through their ministerial priesthood. With pure heart and clear conscience, let them preach the Gospel and shepherd us on our own journey to Your heart and will. May they be focused in service to you and show us a shining example of a holy, simple, and joyful life.
Through the Intercession of our Blessed Mother Mary, we pray that you will gather all priests and their flocks into a present and intimate relationship with you, where you live and reign with the
Father and the Holy Spirit. God forever and ever. Amen.
