Hi,

I have a friend named Jonathan who is discerning a vocation to the priesthood. He is particularly drawn to the Carmelite order. I want to ask all of you to pray for God’s blessing on him and for him to discern whether this is the vocation God is calling him towards, and if so, to help him on his education and journey to it, but also to lead him if such is not his vocation. Please ask the intercession of any Carmelite saints to assist in pouring out God’s grace on Jonathan. Also, especially asking for the Blessed Virgin Mary and her most chaste spouse St. Joseph. Thank you for any prayers for Jonathan.

God bless you all. Amen.
 
Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blest is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

:gopray:
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen!
 
Lord, please grant Jonathan many grace for discernment, wisdom, understanding, courage, joy, faith, hope, and charity. Lead this soul clearly toward whatever vocation would please the Father, through the intercession of holy angels, especially his guardian angel. May this enterprise lead him toward your Sacred Heart, now and forever, and by his ministry, whatever it may be, may your divine light shine from heaven into this fallen world. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell, satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen

O Great Saint Joseph,
you were completely obedient
to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Intercede for Jonathan to obtain the grace to know
the state of life that God
in His providence has chosen for him.
Since his happiness on earth,
and perhaps even his final happiness in heaven,
depends on this choice,
let him not be deceived in making it.

Obtain for Jonathan the light to know God’s Will,
to carry it out faithfully,
and to choose the vocation
which will lead him to a happy eternity.
