Serran Prayer for Vocations

O God,
Who wills not the death of a sinner,
but rather that he be converted and live,
grant we beseech You,
through the intercession
of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
Saint Joseph, her spouse,
Saint Junípero Serra and all the saints,
an increase of laborers for your Church,
fellow laborers with Christ
to spend and consume themselves for souls,
through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.
Amen
 
O God, You sent Your Son, Jesus,
to bring eternal life to those who believe.
I join Him in praying for labourers for Your harvest.
May Your Holy Spirit inspire men and women
to continue his mission through Your priesthood,
diaconate, religious life and lay ministry.
May this same Spirit make known Your will for my life.

For Vocations

Lord Jesus Christ,
Saviour of the world,
we humbly beg of Thee to revive in Thy Church
that spirit which Thou didst
so abundantly bestow on the Apostles.
Call, we pray Thee,
very many to Thy priesthood
and to the religious life.
And may zeal for Thy glory
and the salvation of souls
inflame those whom Thou hast chosen,
may they be saints in Thy likeness,
and may Thy Spirit strengthen them.
O Jesus, give us priests and religious
after Thine own Heart.
Amen.

Heavenly Father,
bless your Church with an abundance
of holy and zealous priests,
deacons, brothers and sisters.
Give those you have called to the married state
and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world
the special graces that their lives require.
Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that
in him, with him and through him
we may love you more deeply
and serve you more faithfully,
always and everywhere.
With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

"Prayer for Priests"

My God and Father in heaven, that night in the Garden, on the Mount of Olives, Your Son told Peter: " Do you think that I cannot appeal to my Father, who will promptly send more than twelve legions of angels to my defense?". ( Matt. 26:53 ).

Father, we ask You now: send twelve legions of angels with chalices of strength out into the Gethsemene of the Holy Church to defend and assist our priests, who, strengthened by the power and presence of these angels, may faithfully fulfill their priestly missions. Amen.

"Prayer for Vocations"

O God, who have chosen the apostles to make disciples of all nations and who by Baptism and Confirmation have called us to build up Your Holy Church, we earnestly implore You to choose from among us, Your children, many priests, deacons and religious brothers and sisters who will love You with their whole heart and will gladly spend their entire lives to make You known and loved by all. Amen.

"St. Dominics Blessing"

May God the Father Bless us, May God the Son heal us, May God the Holy Spirit enlighten us. Give us eyes to see with, ears to hear with and hands to do the work of God. Give us feet to walk with and a mouth to preach His words of love and salvation. May the angel of peace watch over us, and lead us at last by our Lords gifts to His Eternal Kingdom.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH FOR PRIESTS

Blessed Joseph,
you both saved and served the Word of God,
and the Living Bread come down from heaven.
Look down upon the priests of the Church
which had its origins in the household
over which you presided,
and pray for them –
that they, too, serve perseveringly
the people entrusted to their care –
may teach them faithfully the Word of God,
and break for them daily the Bread of Life.
Strengthen them in faith and in hope,
console them in hardship and disappointment;
and pray your Jesus
to crown their service of him on earth
with eternal life with him
in the happiness of heaven for ever.
Amen.
