Prayers for Vocations
Composed by the Diocesan Vocations Commission
Lord, let me know clearly
the mission you have in mind for me
and grant me every grace I need
to answer your call
with courage, love and
lasting dedication to your will.
Amen
Show me the way, Lord; your Church needs me.You called me in baptism to be one of your people.
I now pray that your people may grow. Lord, give your Church dedicated men and women to serve you as priests, deacons,brothers and sisters.
Help them spread your Word and show your love so that all people may know your Name.
And show me the way, Lord,
so that I may love you better.
I make this prayer through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
Send Your Spirit of Love
O lord, you desire that all persons become your apostles
and be witnesses to your Word. Send your Spirit of Love
to inspire more dedicated persons to serve You and your people.
To those already serving you, impart your gifts
of fidelity, strength and peace. May the Spirit who you send us
captivate our hearts and enable us to grow in your love. AMEN.
Fidelity to One’s Vocation
Heavenly Father, give those who live in the married state,
and those who live as single persons in the world the special grace that their lives require.
Keep your priests, deacons, sisters and brothers zealous in your service. Give us all the fidelity and perseverance needed to live out our vocations in the world.
Form us in the likeness of your Son, so that in Him, with Him, and through Him we may love you more deeply, and serve you more faithfully,always and forever.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord. AMEN.
Prayer
O God, who enlightens the minds
And inflames the hearts of the faithful
By the Holy Spirit,
grant that through the same Spirit,
I may know my true vocation
in life, and
may have the grace to follow it faithfully.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen
