Lord Jesus Christ, shepherd of souls, who called the apostoles to be fishers of men, raise up new apostles in your holy Church. Teach them that to serve you is to reign: to possess you is to possess all things. Kindle in the hearts of our young people the fire of zeal for souls. Make them eager to spread your Kingdom upon earth. Grant them courage to follow you, who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life; who live and reign forever and ever. Amen.

the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus

Loving God, please increase vocations to the priesthood and to religious service that meet generous, faithful commitment. Let those You call, recognize Your invitation that is felt in questioning moments and is apparent in the needs of the Church and society.

Some fail to listen to Your call because they have their own life-plan, and the price of following Yours appears too high. Please assure them that only along the narrow road of prayer and loving service, is found the enduring happiness and peace that they seek.

Give them light to recognize Jesus’ call of ‘follow me’ and generosity and wisdom to consolidate their decision as they seek further direction.

Lead them into the apostolate in which You desire to employ their abilities and potential, and grant them fidelity and trust.

Make Christ’s love the reality of their lives, in love that is humble and forgiving, prayerful and self-giving, in love that is perceptive, wise, and detached, in love that is vibrant and grateful.

Dear God, please hear this prayer so that souls will not fall unharvested for lack of worthy laborers. We thank You for the gifts of Your priests and religious to countless generations of Your people.

Please pray

God of creation, in baptism you called each one of us by name to be your children.
We give you thanks and praise for this gift.
May the Good News of Jesus Christ,
which inspired the first disciples to ‘come and see’
continue to speak to our world today.
Bless the Archdiocese with men and women
who will answer your call to speak your Word
as priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers.
We make this prayer through Jesus Christ,
who is your Son, and our Lord and Brother forever and ever.
Amen

Loving God,

We pray that your loving call will be received and responded to by many of your people to serve as priests, deacons, brothers, sisters, and all needs of your Holy Church. This special call is a true blessing for the people of God and is a treasure and a joy for those who hear and respond to the Lord in this very important calling. Please bless all whom you call to service, and help their families and supporting networks to be strong and supportive for them while they go through the process of discernment and instruction before coming into the fullness of service to your people. Please bless your Holy Church with individuals of great faith, hope, competence, and joy in carrying out your missions among your people.

We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus.

Amen.
