Prayer for Vocations
Gracious God and Father,
We praise You for Your goodness and love. You teach us
that each vocation is born in prayer and only through
prayer does it persevere and bear fruit.
We ask You to stir the hearts of all those You call to the
priesthood, diaconate, consecrated life and married life in
the Diocese of Saint Cloud. Make them generous. Make
them courageous. Make them joyful in giving everything to
Jesus.
Send Your Holy Spirit upon our families and our children.
Choose from our parishes, our homes and our schools
those called to this adventure of sanctity. With Mary,
Mother of every vocation, we ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen.
