A Rosary for Priests : The Glorious Mysteries (Sundays & Wednesdays)

⛪

I. The Resurrection

Carl Heinrich Bloch 「The Resurrection」

At times priests may suffer from depression and despair when they see so little fruit from their labours. We pray that all priests will remember that the darkness of the Crucifixion is followed by the light of the Resurrection. May all priests share the joy of the risen Christ.

II. The Ascension

Dosso Dossi 「The Ascension」

We pray for all priests in purgatory, that they may ascend with Christ to the glory of the Beatific Vision. We pray that those who toil on earth work faithfully until Christ comes again. May those priests that have lost their faith and trust in Jesus regain it with joy and abandonment.

III. The Descent of the Holy Spirit

Titian 「Descent of the Holy Ghost」

We pray that priests may be open to the graces of the Holy Spirit, that they be strengthened for the task of bringing souls to God. We pray they may be on fire to convert even the most hardened sinners and to bring God's love to the whole world. May they preach courageously and convincingly the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

IV. The Assumption

Leonard Porter 「The Assumption of the Virgin」

We pray that priests will grow in holiness through fervent prayer and penance, so that they may become a resounding witness to Christ and His Gospel, as stewards of the mysteries of God. We pray that all priests will have peaceful and holy deaths, and join the Church triumphant in heaven.

V. The Crowning of Our Lady Queen of Heaven

Guido Reni 「The Coronation of the Virgin」

We pray that Mary, Queen of the clergy, will be for all priests a model of faith and joy, and a constant guide on their journey to heaven, where a crown, bejeweled with the many souls they have brought to salvation since their ordination, will be their reward for faithful service.
