Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, In Your love, please bless the priests Given to Your flock to guide; And the deacons ordained to serve, Bringing care and justice to abide.

Bless, too, the men and women Consecrated to serve You Through sacred vows, prayer, and good works, they devotedly pursue.

I ask that Mary and Joseph, Join with me now in prayer That families will nurture life with faith In Your uplifting care.

Among us who follow You, Please favor with strength and grace Those in single life as a way, Of holiness they embrace.

For all who seek their vocations, Please help them to discern Your guidance at every crossroads And Your presence at every turn.

Amen.
