Prayer for Vocations

We beg you Father, through the in-

tercession of Mary, the Mother of the

Church, to bless all who share in and

support priestly, diaconate and reli-

gious vocations.

Strengthen the spiritual renewal of

every priest, deacon and religious that your Church

may bear strong witness to your presence in the

world.

May all Christians answer the call of

Jesus, ‘come follow me’ and guide chosen ones to

heed His call as priests, deacons, brothers and sis-

ters.

We plead with you to grant this

prayer, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
