This prayer was found in a list of 100 prayers.

O Blessed Lady of the Tears,

we entrust and consecrate the priesthood

to your Immaculate Heart!

During this time of trial and suffering,

we pray that you renew the priesthood

by making priests holy

in imitation of the Heart of the Good Shepherd.

We pray in reparation for the sins of the priesthood

and we pray for all victims of their sins.

Grant, O Lady of the Tears,

an outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the priests

that they may be authentic witnesses

of your Son

Jesus Christ Our Lord.

May we wipe away your tears

by comforting your Immaculate Heart,

by praying the rosary

and adoring the Heart of Jesus your Son

in the Most Holy Eucharist

present in every Catholic Church in the world.

Give all priests and seminarians

a deep love and devotion to Jesus in the Eucharist

and to you, their loving Mother.

Grant that every priest and seminarian

will daily spend one hour with Jesus in the Eucharist

and daily pray your most holy rosary!

Grant all priests and seminarians

the gift of purity,

the gift of chastity,

and the gift of the divine love of your Son.

May they proclaim the truth

without fear, with love, and with courage!

We ask all our prayers

through the Tears which you shed

at the foot of the Cross of Jesus Christ your Son

who lives and reigns

with the Father and the Holy Spirit.

Amen!

Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests, and our Mother, help us to respond generously to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests. Amen.
