Letter of his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI proclaiming a Year for Priests
A Prayer for Priests
O Jesus, eternal Priest, keep your priests within the shelter of Your Sacred Heart, where none may touch
them. Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch Your Sacred Body. Keep unsullied their lips, daily purpled with your
Precious Blood. Keep pure and unearthly their hearts, sealed with the sublime mark of the priesthood. Let Your holy love surround
them and shield them from the world's contagion. Bless their labors with abundant fruit and may the souls to whom they minister be
their joy and consolation here and in heaven their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen.
- St. Therese of Lisieux

The Daisy Movement was founded on August 1, 1981 by Mrs. Louise Ward at Aylmer, Quebec. The purpose of the movement is to pray
for priests, to offer one day a week for a particular priest to support him in his priestly ministry and spiritual life. For
