Lord Jesus, I acknowledge that You are the Highest Priest of the Order of Melchizedek. You are the temple, the altar, the victim, and the sacrifice offered to the Father in atonement for my sins and the sins of the whole world.
At the Cross, You shed your Precious Blood and died for us, to satisfy the Divine Justice. Being God and man, Your sacrifice is infinite and Divine, You established the Royal Priesthood to perpetuate your sacrifice of the cross through Holy Mass, so that Your Precious Blood could flow and give life to your mystical body, the Church.
At the cross, by your Holy Wounds, we are healed. When you are lifted up as bread and wine, in the consecration of Holy Mass by your consecrated Priest; You are lifted up as Emanuel, God with us, and by your Holy Wounds, we are healed.
As Royal Priest, you are the Eternal Word of God who became flesh. You came to give us the Holy Gospels and to establish your Word in our hearts through our conscience and the natural law.
As Royal Priest, you are also the Resurrection and the Life, and you used your Power to heal the sick and to resurrect the dead.
I honour the Priesthood and I pray for all your consecrated Priests, good men who have offered their lives to your service, true shepherds who feed us with your Body and Blood.
I pray for all those who are faithful to your service, and also for those who are failing, I pray for the sick, for those who are in need, and for those who are in Purgatory.
Eternal Father, I offer You the Most Precious Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Sorrows of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Co-Redemptrix of the world. I offer You the Most Holy Wounds of Jesus and of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I offer You the Precious Blood and Water from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. I offer You the most holy Wounds, pains, tears and sorrows of Jesus and Mary. And, I offer You the merits of all the Holy Devotions, Holy Rosaries and Holy Masses that are being said, that have been said and will ever be said in time and in eternity, for the Priesthood.
Lord Jesus, I pray that You will always feed us with Your Precious Body and Blood until the end of times, I pray that you will always give us Your Word in the Gospels and in our hearts, and that the poison of the evil one will not affect us. I pray that the power of the Resurrection will be given to us as we make our prayers for the sick, because by Your Holy Wounds, we have been healed.
Priest forever of the order of Melchizedek
Prayer for Vocations to the Religious Life and to the Priesthood
