Prayer for Vocations

Pop Benedict

Jesus, High priests the Redeemer forever we beg you to call young men and women to your service as priests and religious. May they be inspired by the lives of dedicated priests Brothers and Sisters. Give to parents the grace of generosity and trust toward you and their Children so that their sons and daughters may be helped to choose their Vocations in life with wisdom and freedom.

Lord, you told as that “the harvest indeed is great but the laborers are few pray, therefore, the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest, “We ask that we may know and follow the vocation to which you have called us. We pray particularly for those called to serve as priests. Brothers and Sisters: those whom you have called, those you are calling now, and those you will call in the future. May they be open and responsive to the call of serving your people. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
