Prayer For Vocations

O Jesus, our Good and Gentle Shepherd, grant that individuals from our community may receive the grace and courage to hear and respond to Your call to serve in the priesthood and religious life. Bestow upon them the insight to recognize that life is a precious gift and to understand that their lives fit into Your divine plan. Encourage those whom You have chosen to proclaim the Gospel, and enable them to willingly embrace a life dedicated to service within the Church. May the families and parents in our parish motivate and uplift our young men and women as they seek, pursue, and respond to God's calling in their lives.Amen.
