A Prayer for Vocations

Our Father,
in Baptism You called us by name, making us members of Your People, the Church. I ask that Your Spirit strengthen us to live in love and service to others after the example of Your Son Jesus.

Dear Father,
look upon Your Church with love and bless Your people with the servants we need. Choose from our parishes, our homes, and our schools an abundant harvest of dedicated disciples for service in Your Church: sisters, brothers, deacons, priests, and lay ministers.

I pray that those whom You call may never lose awareness of the dignity and need of their vocation. Continue to bless and strengthen those who have already responded to Your call.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord, Amen.
