O Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep all 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 purpled with Your Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts sealed with the sublime marks of Your glorious priesthood. Let Your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contagion. Bless their labors and abundant fruit, and may the souls to whom they ministered here below be their joy and consolation, and in Heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen. O Mary, Queen of the clergy, pray for us; obtain for us a number of holy priests. Amen.
