Youth Considering Holy Orders

[bearer]

Please pray for the discernment of vocation on behalf of a 13-year-old named Douglas. He is an alter server at our parish, and while still fairly young, his reverence during Mass is beyond his years. Based on our conversations, I think he is starting to consider the priesthood. May the Holy Spirit guide him through his formative years so that he will heed God’s call, wherever it might lead him.



God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, religious, and consecrated persons. Send your Holy Spirit to help us respond generously and courageously to your call. May our community of faith support
vocations of sacrificial love in our youth. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

3 Kings Chapter 19: 12-into13.
And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire. And after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave.

Dear Lord, May Douglas hear your voice and sense your presence as did Elias. May he come forth in response, finding the vocation which will best allow him to glorify your name.
I ask this through Christ Jesus, Amen.

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.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, and sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother, to thee I come, before thee I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me. Amen.
