I am looking for a poem to a mother of a roman catholic priest, one I can put by his picture. Thanks.?

Answer 1

Sure...though it would help greatly if I knew what the subject of the poem would be about....here are some various things that might be useful. My guess is that you are looking for something as a way of thanking the mother for her son becoming a priest (could be way off...next time say what it should be about)....my suggestion would be to take a prayer for Priests or a Prayer for Vocations and put it on a sheet that says "An answered prayer" or somesuch thing. There are more besides what I have listed below.

DEUS, qui ad maiestatis tuae gloriam et generis humani salutem, Unigenitum tuum summum atque aeternum constituisti Sacerdotem: praesta, ut quos ministros et mysteriorum suorum dispensatores elegit, in accepto ministerio adimplendo fideles inveniantur. Per eundem Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

O God, who hast appointed Thine only-begotten Son to be the eternal High Priest for the glory of Thy Majesty and the salvation of mankind; grant that they whom He hath chosen to be His ministers and the stewards of His mysteries, may be found faithful in the fulfillment of the ministry which they have received. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for Vocations

Father, you call us to prepare the way for Christ our Lord, bringing low the mountains of our pride and filling up the valleys of our weakness. As you created us in your own image, open our minds and hearts to know our longing for the Savior. Help us to follow the example of Mary, always ready to do your will. As we continue to celebrate the simple beauty of the Incarnation of your Son, help us in freedom to say “Yes” to our vocation and make us radiant with his light. Amen!

A Prayer Before the Blessed Sacrament for the Increase of Priestly and Religious Vocations

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Eternal Father,
Son of the Virgin Mary,
we thank you for offering your life in sacrifice on
the Cross, and for renewing this sacrifice
in every Mass celebrated throughout the world.

In the Power of the Holy Spirit
we adore you and proclaim
your living presence in the Eucharist.
We desire to imitate the love you show us
in your death and resurrection,
by loving and serving one another.

We ask you to call many young people to religious
life, and to provide the holy and generous priests
that are so needed in you Church today.
Lord Jesus, hear our prayer. Amen.
