Prayers for Vocations

O Father, you desire all of us to be happy. Stir up the grace of a religious vocation in the hearts of many men and women. Grant to them the willingness and generosity to give of themselves, their lives, their time and their talents to the service of Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord and Savior, and to His Holy Church. May more men and women go forth as priests, deacons, brothers and sisters to bring the truths of our Catholic faith to all others so that soon they, too, may know You better and love You more...and serving You, be truly happy. Amen.



O Lord, help me know your will for me Let your light shine in the depths of my heart that I may know what you want me to do with my life. Help me believe that you have a special plan for me. Lord, I know I pass through this life only once; help me decide how you want me to make a difference. Like our Blessed Mother, give me the wisdom to hear your voice and the courage to answer your call. Above all give me peace of mind and heart. I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 
Vocations Staff

The English word 'vocation' has its origin in the Latin 'vocare' ('to call'). 'Vocation' today is understood to be a call to holiness/wholeness for ALL Christians by virtue of their baptism. Married life, single life, ordained and religious life are all responses to this baptismal call to live in the love of Jesus Christ and to bring the gospel alive to the world.
