A Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus, as You once called the first disciples to make
them fishers of men, let your sweet invitation continue to
resound. Come, follow Me! Give young men and women the
grace of responding quickly to Your voice. Support our
bishops, priests and consecrated people in their apostolic
labour. Grant perseverance to our seminarians and to all
those who are carrying out the ideal of a life totally
consecrated to Your service. Mary, Mother of the Church,
the model of every vocation, help us to say "Yes" to the
Lord Who calls us to cooperate in the divine plan of
salvation.
Amen

Vocation Prayer for Discernment

God, I know You love me and have great plans for me.
But sometimes I an overwhelmed by the thought of my future.
Show me how to walk forward one day at a time.
May I take heart while I search openly, learn about all the choices,
listen to others for advice, and pay attention to my own feelings.
By doing these things, May I hear Your call to a lifestyle and a
career that will let me love as only I can, and let me serve others
with the special gifts that you have given me.
Amen

Vocation Prayer

Dear Father,
Shine Your light upon me so that I may see my true vocation.
Give me the grace to hear Your word and be an example to others of your love for us.
I pray for all in Priesthood, Consecrated life, Marriage and Single life,
and for all who are listening to Your call, that they may answer You in their vocation.
Thank you for sending Your Son Jesus - Lord of the Harvest -
help me to follow His example. May I freely, courageously and lovingly respond.
Amen

Family Vocation Prayer

Loving God, each member of our family is a special gift from You.
You have given each of us gifts and talents so that we may
enjoy life but also so we can share with others.
Generous and loving people are needed for service and leadership in our Church.

Help us to know how to encourage and support each other
so that we can respond generously to this need.
We know that You will be with us, invite us to become the kind of people You desire us to be.
Help us to trust in You and in each other.
Amen
