World Day of Prayer for Vocations

If you're reading this, please the time today to pray for vocations!
-
Father, in your plan for our savlation you provide shepherds for your people. Fill your Church with the spirit of courage and love.
-
Give the Church more priests, worthy ministers for your altars and ardent but gentle servants of the Gospel.
-
Grant also to us an increase in vocations to the religious life. May more of your people respond to your call in a spirit of joyful generosity.
-
May they serve your people in love by following in the footsteps of Christ your Son and provide by their way of life a convincing sign of your Kingdom.
-
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
-
Mary Mother of the Church, pray for us.
-
Amen.
