A PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
  by USCCB
 
Father in heaven, you sent us your only Son to redeem us and to build your kingdom on earth.

Please give us the wisdom and strength we need to follow His call. Grant to the faithful a spirit of generosity, that Church vocations may flourish.

Bless our priests with holiness and courage, that they may lead your people to Christ. Help all sisters and brothers to fulfill their sacred promises and so be effective signs of your kingdom.


Lord, invite more men and women to your service. We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
