Pray for vocations

The Prayer before the
Crucifix at San Damiano by St Francis of Assisi

Most High, glorious God,
enlighten the darkness of my heart
and give me true faith,
certain hope and perfect charity,
sense and knowledge, Lord,
that I may carry out
Your holy and true command.

Holy Father Benedict, intercede for us:

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

Vocations: ‘follow me’
God, please increase vocations to the priesthood and to religious service that meet generous, faithful commitment. Let those You call, recognise 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 recognise 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 labourers. We thank You for the gifts of Your priests and religious to countless generations of Your people.

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.

Prayer for Vocations: Pope John Paul II

Oh Jesus, our Good Shepherd, bless all our parishes with numerous priests, deacons, men and women in religious life, consecrated laity and missionaries, according to the needs of the entire world, which You love and wish to save. We especially entrust our community to You; grant us the spirit of the first Christians, so that we may be a cenacle of prayer, in loving acceptance of the Holy Spirit and His gifts. Assist our pastors and all who live a consecrated life. Guide the steps of those who have responded generously to Your call and are preparing to receive holy orders or to profess the evangelical counsels.

Look with love on so many well disposed young people and call them to follow You. Help them to understand that in You alone can they attain to complete fulfillment. To this end we call on the powerful intercession of Mary, Mother and Model of all vocations. We beseech you to sustain our faith with the certainty that the Father will grant what You have commanded us to ask.
Amen.
