Adopt a Priest Spiritually

It is peak time to pray for the priests as they are targeted the most by evil.

As long as our priests are armed by the Holy Spirit, the church will flourish with saints and prophets. If we love Christ, we love the Church, loving and receiving His priests are also an expression of our love to our beloved Lord Jesus because he says "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me. Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is righteous will receive a righteous man's reward. And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones to drink because he is a disciple-amen, I say to you, he will surely not lose his reward." [Matthew 10: 40 - 42]

​

Love for Christ is also love for the church and His priests because both are the same. (Acts of Apostles 9)  So with these sentiments guided by the Holy Spirit, we are inspired to fortify our prayers for church and priests and religious too. So here we propose the spiritual adoption of priests.

 

What do we mean by ‘Spiritual adoption'

Each family or individual that wishes to agree to a spiritual adoption for a priest, will be given the name of a priest for daily prayers. You may pray for the priest by offering your Holy Masses as possible and making a few personal sacrifices. At least one rosary and one Divine chaplet can be offered for the priest.

 

This bond of prayer will be for one year, after that it can be renewed. Only the name of the priest will be given to the family or person and other details will not be exposed. Thus, when a family or an individual prays for a priest, they are directly involved in strengthening his vocation and supporting him to follow Jesus more ardently. May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and your family abundantly for your prayers for this priest during this period.
