Beginning on June 19, 2009, our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI has declared the Year for Priests in conjunction with the 150 anniversary of St. John Marie Vianney, whom he has declared the Universal Patron of Priests.  The USCCB website has a number of good resources to assist in observing the Year for Priests.

You can find them by visiting http://www.usccb.org/yearforpriests/index.shtml. There you will find A Priest’s Prayer in English and Spanish which can be found at the following link and printed. . http://www.usccb.org/yearforpriests/pdf/Priestly%20Prayer%20card%20(English).pdf, http://www.usccb.org/yearforpriests/pdf/Priestly%20Prayer%20card%20(Spanish).pdf 

Also, please take note of the Plenary Indulgence being granted by the Holy Father.
