I am a 23yr old male, and after a combination of long term quiet hints and a full blown unexplicable experience. I am very seriously investigating if God is leading me to a religious life, and to what kind specifically.

Making this decision to pursue it included me breaking up with my long time girlfriend (this past weekend) and so obviously things have been tough, but if it is His will, I am following.

I am in much need your prayers (and suggestions if you wish).

Thank you and I will be praying for everyone as well.
 
O Lord,
I beseech Thee to grant Brannock Thy divine light, that he may know the designs of Thy providence concerning him, and that, filled with a sincere desire for his soul’s salvation, he may say, with the young man in the Gospel: What must I do to be saved? All states of life are before him; but still undecided what to do, he awaits Thy commands.
Lord, I ask you this in the Holy Name of Your Son. Jesus,
Amen!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed 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.
 
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.
 
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled to your protection,
implored your help, or sought your intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
though burdened by my sins,
I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother.
To you I come, before you I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, but in your mercy,
hear and answer me.
Amen.
 
Lord will You please console Brannock, who has made the sacrifice of relinquishing his long term girlfriend in the suspicion that yo are calling him to religious life.
Please also console his former girlfriend in her loss.

Please give Brannock wisdom and confidence in his discernment.Supply him with all the grace he needs to follow Your call faithfully and with whole heart and mind and spirit, whatever that call truly is.
Mother Mary please make him your special care and intercede with God for him.
Thank You, Lord. Thank you Mother.
 
Praying for your intentions….

Lord Jesus, You have said,
“Learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart.”
With confidence in Your loving heart
which offers rest to weary souls,
we come to You in this time of special need.
In Your unfailing love,
read the prayer that is written on our hearts,
and grant the grace that we ask of You,
in accordance with Your holy will.
In Your name we pray.
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.
 
O Mary conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O Mary conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

O Mary conceived without sin.
Pray for us who have recourse to thee.
