Prayer For Vocations

Lord, Jesus Christ, You are the Saviour of the world.

Please manifest in Your church, the Spirit whom You also abundantly bestowed on Your apostles.

Call many to the priesthood and religious life.

May zeal for Your glory and for the salvation of the world inflame those You have chosen.

May they be saints in Your likeness. May Your Holy Spirit strengthen them. May they be priests and religious according to Your own Heart.

 Amen
