Heavenly
Father, bless your Church
with an
abundance of holy and zealous
priests,
deacons, brothers and sisters.
Give
those you have called to the
married
state and those you have
chosen to
live as single persons in the
world,
the special graces that their lives
require.
Form us all 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 everywhere. With Mary we
ask this
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer To Know One’s Vocation
Lord
Jesus, up until now you have
been
quietly preparing me to be your
disciple.
Now the time of preparation is
ending. I
seem to hear you say to me as
once to
Peter: “Will you also go away ?”
You were
saddened then by friends who
Failed
you. But Peter did not fail.
“Lord,”
he said, “to whom should we go?
You have
the words of eternal life.”
I stand
with Peter. Through prayer
and
counsel, show me, Lord, where it is
in your
vineyard that you want me to
serve.
Then give me strength to be
faithful.
Mary,
Mother and Model, help me to
Respond
in generous love to the call of
your
divine Son. |
