Law enforcer's prayer

Source: Internet

Lord God, you have created a marvellous world which is permeated by a wondrous sense of order. Yet human beings have a tendency to war against order. That is the reason why there are people like me who work at maintaining order in society. Help me to use my authority with understanding and restraint and without bias or anger. Let me remember that in carrying out my function I am sharing in your Divine Providence in the universe so that the people in this world can live in peace and grow in the knowledge and love of you, of your Son, and of Holy Spirit.

Lord of life, light my mind to know the remedies for my patient's illness, and touch my heart to feel compassion for their sufferings.

Social Worker's Prayer

Source: Internet

O God, I sometimes think that I have the hardest job of all, because what I am really trying to do is make bad people good and to make foolish people wise. Help me never to lose patience; never to abandon hope; never to regard anyone with loathing or contempt; never to stop caring. Make me always sympathetic to failure; patient with folly; firm with shiftlessness, stern to cruelty, resolute against those who make vice and evil easier for others. Above all, never let love grow cold within my heart. Lord Jesus, you came to seek and to save that which was lost, and it is your work that I am still trying to do. Amen.

Seminarian's Prayer

O Holy Virgin, our Lady of Trust,
Kind and loving Mother of seminarians
Throughout the world,
Your presence once brought joy
To the first apostles of Gospel
As they waited tensely and eagerly
In the Cenacle
For the coming of the Divine Spirit.
Look down upon us now,
As we stir with the same eager longing for grace
And for a priestly zeal that will be holy
And bring holiness to others.
Just as you have been our morning star,
So always remain the serene joy
Of our vocation,
The safeguard of our purity,
The flame of our work
In the service of Jesus
And of the souls redeemed by his Blood
And of his Church,
Which suffers at times
But always remains glorious
And unbowed.
What joy it brings each of us
And all of us together,
The seminarians of the whole world,

To repeat:

"Opus tuum nos, O Maria."

What a sense of exultation always,

To be able to add, at every turn in our lives:

We are not afraid of anything, O Mary,

For you are and will be our tust,

Our Mother, "in aevum et aeternum,"

By Pope John XXIII

Prayer for Priest

O almighty eternal God,
Look upon the face of your Christ,
And for love of him
Who is the eternal High- priest.
Remember, O, most compassionate God,
That they are but weak
And frail human beings.
Stir up in them the grace of their vocation
Which is in them close to you,
Lest the enemy prevail against them,
So that they may never do anything
In the slightest degree unworthy
Of their sublime vocation.
O Jesus, I pray you for your faithful
And fervent priest;
For your unfaithful and tepid priest;
For your priest laboring at home
Or abroad in distant mission fields;
For your lonely and desolate priests;
For your young priests;
For your aged priest;
For your sick priest;
For your dying priest;
For the souls of your priest in purgatory.
But above all, I commend to you
The priest dearest to me;
The priest who baptized me;
The priest who absolved me from my sins;
The priest at whose Masses I assisted
And who gave me your Body and Blood in holy communion;
The priest who taught and instructed me
Or helped and encouraged me;
All the priest to whom I am indebted
In any other way, particularly__________.
O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart,
And bless them abundantly in time
And in eternity.
Amen.

Seaman's Prayer

Source: Internet

O God, I ask you to take me into your care and protection along with all seamen. Make me alert and wise in my duties. Make me faithful in the time of routine, prompt to decide, and courageous to act in time of crisis. Protect me in the dangers and the perils of the sea; and even in the storm grant that there may be peace and calm within my heart. When I am far from home, far from loved ones, and far from my country, help me to be quite sure that, wherever I am, I can never drift beyond ones in the days and weeks and months when I am separated from them. Keep me true to them and keep them true to me, and every time that we have to part, bring us together in safety and in loyalty again. Amen.

PRAYER FOR FARMERS

Lord God, King of the Universe, you are the sole source of growth and abundance. With your help I plant my crops and by your power they give forth a harvest. Grant me the grace always to work with all my strength and ingenuity in cultivating the soil so that it will bring forth fruits for my benefit and the benefits of all who will use them. Make me ever aware that without my part in the work of harnessing the goods of the earth these particular goods would be lacking to my brothers and sisters in this world.

OFW Prayer

Source: Internet

Dear Lord, source of hope and our way to salvation

Guide them as they travel.

Lead them on the right path,

And never let them depart from You.

Grant them a safe journey from the home they leave behind

To their respective destinations:

May they find true and honest friends,

May they encounter caring and gracious employers,

May they have decent and rewarding jobs,

May they have a peaceful stay,

May their sacrifices bear good and lasting fruits.

Watch over them and always lead them safely back home:

Keep them away from any harm and danger,

Spare them from sickness and accident,

Protect them from embarrassment and humiliation,

And deliver them from scandal and shame.

Stay by their side and always remind them of their true home:

As pilgrims, we are just passing in this world,

As Your creatures, we must return to You,

As Your servants, we must lead others to Heaven.

Watch over O Lord, those whom they leave behind;

Let their homes be always safe,

Let their children be always secured and responsible,

Let their love remain always faithful,

And let what they earn be spent for good.

Watch over us as we are away from one another.

With your grace and blessing, may we see each other again:

To enjoy once more each others company,

To hear and listen to our own life-stories,

And more than ever, to accompany one another

On the road that leads back to You.

Lord, please lead them safely back home. AMEN.
