Saint Thérèse's Prayer for the Sanctification of Priests

O Jesus, eternal High Priest, keep Your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may harm them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with Your Precious Blood. Keep pure their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of Your Priesthood. Let them grow in love and fidelity to You, and shield them from the corruption and contagion of this world.

Together with the power to change bread and wine, grant them also the power to change hearts. Bless their labors with abundant fruit. May the souls to whom they minister be their consolation here on earth and their everlasting crown in the life to come. Amen.
