Modlitwa początkowa
ludzki wizerunek, uformowała ich na Twoje boskie podobieństwo, mocą Twojego Ducha, na chwałę Boga Ojca.
Duchu Święty, Duchu Światłości, oświecaj kapłanów;
Duchu Święty, Duchu Czystości, uświęcaj kapłanów;
Duchu Święty, Duchu Mocy, wspieraj kapłanów;
Duchu Święty, Duchu Boży spraw, by kapłani ożywieni i umocnieni Twoją łaską, nieśli słowo
prawdy i błogosławieństwo pokoju na cały świat;
Niech ogień świętej miłości rozpala ich serca, by w płomieniach tej miłości oczyszczali i uświęcali dusze.
Duchu Święty, powierzamy Ci serca kapłańskie;
Ukształtuj je na wzór Najświętszych Serc Jezusa i Maryi. Amen.
Rozważanie – kto doświadcza pokus ?
(Zatrzymaj się nad tym tekstem przez chwilę (10-15 min); proś Ducha Świętego, by pomógł Ci zrozumieć te słowa; zobacz, które słowo szczególnie Cię poruszyło, które dotyka Twojego życia; zastanów się co ono dla Ciebie znaczy; zadawaj sobie pytania (np. jak często upadam w wierności Bogu? jak traktuję siebie w tym upadku? czy robię wyrzuty Panu? może trwam nadmiernie w poczuciu winy, nie dostrzegając oblicza Boga? czy proszę Pana o miłosierdzie? czy nadal ufam, że jest przy mnie? czy okazuję miłość dla innych, którzy błądzą, czy krytykuję, rozliczam, zachowuję dystans?). Pamiętaj byś w tym rozważaniu starał się być sam z Panem Bogiem…, podziękuj Mu za to co Ci dziś pokazał o Tobie…)
Modlitwa końcowa
Novena for priests by St. John Mary Vianney – Day 6 – Who experiences temptations ?
Opening prayer
Lord Jesus, You chose Your priests from among us and sent them out to proclaim Your Word and act in Your Name. For such a great gift to Your Church, accept our praise and thanksgiving. We ask You to fill them with the fire of Your love, so that their priesthood may manifest Your presence in the Church. Because they are vessels of clay, we pray that Your power will penetrate their weaknesses. Do not let them be crushed in their afflictions. Grant that in doubt they may never give in to despair, never give in to temptations, so that in persecution they may not feel abandoned. Inspire them in prayer so that they may live daily the mystery of your death and resurrection. In moments of weakness, send them your Spirit. Help them to praise Your Heavenly Father and pray for poor sinners. By the power of the Holy Spirit, put your word on their lips and pour your love into their hearts, so that they may bring the Good News to the poor and healing to the downcast and desperate.
May the gift of Mary, your Mother, for Your disciple whom you loved, be a gift for every priest. Grant that she who formed You in her human image may form them in Your divine image, by the power of Your Spirit, to the glory of God the Father
Holy Spirit, Spirit of Wisdom, guide priests;
Holy Spirit, Spirit of Light, enlighten priests;
Holy Spirit, Spirit of Purity, sanctify priests;
Holy Spirit, Spirit of Power, sustain priests;
Holy Spirit, Spirit of God, grant that priests, enlivened and strengthened by Your grace, may bring the word of truth and the blessing of peace to the whole world.
May the fire of the holy love inflame their hearts, so that in the flames of this love they may purify and sanctify their souls.
Holy Spirit, we entrust to you priestly hearts;
Shape them in the image of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Amen.
Meditation
„Maybe drunkards, or those who curse over and over again, or maybe unclean people who wallow in all kinds of filth? Maybe a miser who wants to get rich in every possible way? NO. Satan despises these people – he would only try to keep them alive for as long as possible, so that by his example they could bring even more souls to hell. If the old fornicator had died earlier, he would not have seduced that virgin, pushed her into the swamp of filth. If Satan had induced this thief to rob more frequently, he would surely have died on the gallows and would not have taught others how to steal and rob. And if Satan had urged him to get drunk all the time, he would have died of delirium long ago. And because his life was prolonged, he encouraged others to wander around the pubs. St. Augustine teaches that the devil does not solicit such sinners too much; on the contrary, he despises them as if he spits on them.
Closing prayer
Glory be to the Father…
