Prayer for Vocations
Lord Jesus, as once you called the first disciples and made them fishers of men, continue to let resound today Your sweet invitation: “Come and follow me.”
Grant to men and women in our day the grace and trust to respond to Your voice. Sustain our bishops, priests and consecrated souls in their apostolic work. Give perseverance to our seminarians and to all those living a life of total consecration to Your service. Enkindle in our communities a missionary zeal.
Send, Lord, workers into Your fields to feed and guide Your flock as Good Shepherds in imitation of You.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Model of Vocations, help us to say “Yes” to the Lord who calls each one of us to play our part in His plan of salvation. Amen
(St John Paul II).
