A video of a prayer for priests adapted by the the Diocese of Legazpi in the Philippines, on the occasion of the Year for Priests (2009-2010), featuring the presbyterium of the diocese in their various ministries. The soundtrack is Your Heart Today by Fr. Manoling Francisco, S. J.
YOUR HEART TODAY
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill
REFRAIN:
Lord, grant me courage
Lord, grant me strength
Grant me compassion
That I may be Your heart today
Where there is hate I can confront
Where there are yokes I can release
Where there are captives I can free
And anger I can appease (REFRAIN)
BRIDGE:
When comes the day I dread
To see our broken world
Compel me from my cell grown cold
That Your people I may behold
Where there is fear I can allay
Where there is pain I can heal
Where there are wounds I can bind
And hunger I can fill (REFRAIN)
And when I’ve done all that I could
Yet there are hearts I cannot move
Lord, give me hope
That I may be Your heart today
Mary, Mother of Jesus Christ, Eternal High Priest, Mother of all priests, and our Mother, help us respond generously to the Holy Spirit's request, through the voice of His Church, to offer up to God Eucharistic adoration for priests. Amen.
