QUOTE II: "No priest will go straight into heaven. We know too much. 'To whom much is given, much will be expected.' We know what is expetected and we so often fail. We are good men, but we will all spend some time in purgatory." An almost exact quote from Fr. W.

For priests militant and suffering...
Father Bruno’s PRAYER FOR PRIESTS 1925
O almighty and eternal God, look upon the face of Your Christ, and for love of Him who is the eternal High-priest, have pity on your priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which in them by the imposition of the Bishop’s hands. Keep 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 priests; for Your unfaithful and tepid priests; for Your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Your tempted priests; for Your lonely and desolate priests; for Your sick priests; for Your aged priests, for Your dying priests; for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.
But above all I commend to You the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me; the priests who absolved me from my sins; the priests at whose Masses I assisted and who have me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; the priests who taught and instructed me or helped me and encourage me; all the priests 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
