Please pray for me- discerning my vocation

[Skeptic92]

My Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I feel weird asking people i feel i barely know, even though we are like family, to pray for me, but in the recent months I have felt a push towards seminary and the Priesthood, I am only 18 and my family (well my mother) is not wholly supportive of my faith, let alone if i came out saying that i am discerning my vocation, and I feel it is towards the Priesthood.

So I ask that you keep me in my prayers, that the Lord will help me discern his calling for me, and whether it truly is to “take frock” and join the ranks of our Priesthood

Lord, thy will be done.

 

[Tonaw]

Be assured of my prayers and the prayers of the Saints. I’ve been discerning for quite awhile myself and should be in Seminary by August. Thinking back I should have joined Seminary earlier because Seminary is basically discernment and study. Everything in God’s will though.

I know this may sound repetitive but Pray, Pray, Pray. It is when you come into an extremely close relationship with Christ that you can hear his voice and receive His graces fully. Go to confession frequently and go to adoration often. Even when it is tough to do so, pray. God will answer your prayers in this regard. His grace is always upon you but you must unite your will to His to accept them.

God knows what’s best and so we should always strive to do His will. Our wills can lead us astray. Live in God and He will live in you. Receive communion frequently and allow the Holy Spirit to take hold of your life.

Don’t become a priest to be holy but be Holy to become a priest.

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.

Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus, let your call be heard
by the fervent and generous hearts
of young people, and make them
your followers and ministers.
Provident and loving Jesus,
grant to those whom you call
the necessary means to succeed
and the grace to persevere.
May they meet the demands of their call
and become salt of the earth
and light of the world,
holy ministers and dispensers
of the mysteries of God.
We ask you for vocations
for the whole Church,
vocations according to your heart,
numerous enough
to meet the pressing needs
of your Church and the world.
Send true shepherds of souls
filled with the Holy Spirit.
May their hearts be detached
from all worldly entanglements.
Make your priests holy, Lord,
splendid and exceptional witnesses
to the world
that the humankind cannot be transformed
without the spirit of the Beatitudes.
Amen.

Prayer to Mary for Vocations

O VIrgin Mary,
Mother of Jesus,
and Mother of the Church,
to you we commend
our young people,
in particular those
called to closely follow
your Son.
You know the difficulties,
the struggles,
the obstacles they must face.
Assist them to answer “yes”
to the divine call, as you did
at the invitation of the angel.
Draw them near to your heart
so that they can understand
the beauty and the joy that
awaits them when the Lord Jesus
calls them into His intimacy,
to be witnesses of His love
in the world. Amen.
