Prayer for Vocations
Lord Jesus, we beg you for good and holy priests.
In every age you call men to follow you
as servants and shepherds of your people.
Open their hearts to your call
and give them the courage to follow you.
Be their rock of refuge
and their light as they discern.
Help us to support them on their journey,
and to love them as your disciples.
We thank you for all that you are
and all that you do.
In your name we pray. Amen.
