Men of Melchizedek Prayer for Priests

O Holy Mary, Mother of Priests, who with your beloved spouse Saint Joseph, during your sojourn here below, did nurture, protect, and provide for the Most Sacred Divine Infant, Jesus Christ the High Priest. In remembrance of the joys, the sorrows, the sacrifices and the sufferings you endured as the Holy Family, we beg you now for your Heavenly maternal care for our beloved priests, your priest-sons O Merciful Mother, both living and deceased. With great confidence we beseech you to assist especially those priests who are the most troubled, tempted, discouraged and suffering. Intercede, too, for us, O Holy Mother, that we should not forget how are father Abraham reverenced Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of God Most High, even giving to him a tenth of all he had. With Abraham as our example, let us give constant thanks to God for all the good he has done for us through the hands of our dear priests, and let us never grow weary of giving assistance to all priests in their time of need. For as is sung in the Psalms, "God has sworn and He shall not repent, you are a priest forever in the line of Melchizedek!" Amen.
