Prayer for Vocations

O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love,
impart Your knowledge, understanding, and counsel
to youth that they may know the vocation
wherein they can best serve God.
Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will.
Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions,
shield their chastity, fashion their minds,
conquer their hearts, and lead them to the vineyards
where they will labor in God's holy service.

Amen.

Archdiocese of New York Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus Christ, shepherd of souls, who called the apostles to be fishers of men, raise up new apostles in your holy Church. Teach them that to serve you is to reign: to possess you is to possess all things. Kindle in the hearts of our young people the fire of zeal for souls. Make them eager to spread your Kingdom upon earth. Grant them courage to follow you, who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life; who live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen.

Please pray a decade of the Rosary each day for Vocations
Please offer up one sacrifice each week for Vocations

Vocations Prayer

O Jesus, Divine Shepherd of souls,
you called the Apostles to be
fishers of men. Send us holy priests O Lord
through the intercession of Mary,
Mother and Model of all vocations.
Let your call be heard and answered
by generous and courageous men
to meet the pressing needs of your Church and the world.
Come, Lord, do not delay.
Send to your Church holy priests!

Amen.
