Diocesan Prayer for Vocations

 

Lord God, your beloved Son said to us:

Ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers

into his harvest.

 

So we come to you, offering our prayers and our

sufferings for the needs of the Church in the

world today.

 

We pray that many may hear your call to serve

you in the priesthood, diaconate, consecrated

life and lay ministries.

 

Give their family and friends the grace to

support and encourage them.

 

Give to those you choose eagerness to answer

your call; humility and generosity to make you

known and loved; and faithfulness to persevere

in their dedication.

 

Through Christ our Lord. Amen

 

Mary, Mother of Jesus, who came among us as

a servant, Pray for all who share in his saving

work. Amen
