Prayer for Vocations
Father we ask You to call from our midst
servants of the Gospel and Eucharist
who will praise You and serve Your people well.
Inspire those whom You call to respond
with commitment and generosity.
Give us the wisdom to recognize those called to the priesthood and to encourage them in their vocation.
Strengthen our seminarians; fill them with knowledge and love.
Bless the work of our priests and Bishopo that they may perservere in making Your Word present among us. May a vigorous priestly ministry in this Diocese lead us all to greater charity, to greater service, to constant praise of You.
We make this prayer through Your Christ with Whom we worship You in the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
Amen
