Our priests always need our prayers. They carry so much weight and are often under spiritual attack. In One Hour for My Priest, Tina Jost provides a helpful blueprint for praying for the priests in your life. As Jost states, “Our priests are such a gift from God, and you understand the importance of our prayers for them. Without our beloved priests, we wouldn’t be able to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament or to pray in adoration.”
Of course, any prayers that you offer for your priest are good and helpful. There is no one right way to pray. However, sometimes, a prayer book is helpful to provide guidance. This book is designed to be used while praying before the Blessed Sacrament, but if you are not physically able to go to church to pray, you can certainly pray at home.
There are two holy hours to choose from. They both feature an introductory prayer and five decades of the Rosary. Jost includes the twenty mysteries of the Rosary with a petition to pray before each Our Father and Hail Mary. The first holy hour has a set of “One-minute Meditations” and concludes with “Help Him!” – a series of short petitions. The second holy hour invites you to pray the Stations of the Cross.
One Hour for My Priest is a lovely book that reminds us of the importance of praying for our priest. Whichever holy hour you choose to offer, or even if you only do some of the prayers, you will be providing spiritual help to your priest and helping them fulfill their vocation.
