PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
God our Father, creator and ruler of the universe, in every age you call men and women to develop and use their gifts for the good of others. With St. Joseph as our guide, we pray for an increase in voca-tions to the Church and espe-cially to the Josephite Fathers and Brothers. Amen.
A PRAYER FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my
soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were
already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen. ************************************
