Our God, please increase vocations to the priesthood and to religious service that meet generous, faithful commitment.

Let those whom 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 recognise Jesus’ call of ‘follow me’ and the 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. 1980

Lord, we pray for our shepherds and to be granted new ones. Inspire in them a generous response to your call. Grant them courage and vision to serve your people. May their lives and service call your people to respond to the presence of your Spirit among us faithful to the Gospel and hope of Jesus Christ.
