Vocation Information
Prayer for Vocations by Pope
John Paul II
Jesus, our Good Shephard, bless all our
parishes with numerous priests, deacons, men and
women in religious life, consecrated laity and
missionaries, according to the needs of the
entire world, which you love and wish to save.
Assist our pastors and all who live a consecrated
life. Guide the steps of those who have responded
generously to your call and are preparing to
receive Holy Orders or to profess vows.
Look with love on young people and call them to
follow you. Help them to understand that in you
alone can they attain complete fulfillment.
To this end we call on the powerful intercession
of Mary, mother and model of all vocations.
We beseech you to sustain our faith that the
Father will grant what you command to ask. 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 we
may enjoy life but also so we can share with
others. Generous women and men, boys and girls,
are needed for service and leadership in our
Church.
Help us know how to encourage and support each
other so we can respond generously to this need
by becoming the kind of people You want us to be.
We know that You will be with us; help us to
trust in You and in each other. Amen.
