From the blog of Fr. Peter Preble, who is one of my favorite blogging priests.
How often do we pray for our priests? I have a group of folks who pray for me each day. Being a priest is not easy, especially these days, and we can use all the prayer we can get. St. Gregory Palamas wrote this prayer for priests and I would ask that you make this part of your daily prayer. Pray for priests that you know as they minister daily to God’s people.
O Lord Jesus Christ, enkindle the hearts of all thy priests with the fire of zealous love for Thee, that they may ever seek Thy glory; Give them strength that they may labor unceasingly in Thine earthly vineyard for the salvation of our souls and the glory of Thine All-Honorable and Majestic Name: of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
