Daily Prayer For Priests by St. Therese of the Child Jesus

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests;
for your unfaithful and tepid priests;
for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields;
for your tempted priests;for your lonely and desolate priests;
For your young priests;
for your dying priests;
for the souls of your priests in Purgatory.

But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me:
the priest who baptized me;
the priests who absolved me from my sins;
the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion;
the priests who taught and instructed me;
all the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially …).
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity.    Amen.

Happy birthday, Papa Bene! (emeritus)

I'd love to deliver this to Castelgandolpho!
Ad multos annos!

A new chant blog for Tampa

I've started another blog page which will be dedicated to promoting sacred music, chant, and polyphony in the Tampa, FL, area.  It's just the bare bones right now, but hopefully it will be more active soon:
