Prayers for Family & Vocation
Prayer for Priests and Vocations
Prayer for priests and for vocations has a long history in Catholic life, rooted in Christ's own command to 'ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers' (Matthew 9:38).
O Jesus, our great High Priest,
hear my humble prayers on behalf of your priests.
Give them a deep faith, a bright and firm hope,
and a burning love which will ever increase
in the course of their priestly life.
In their loneliness, comfort them.
In their sorrows, strengthen them.
In their frustrations, point out to them
that it is through suffering that the soul is purified.
Lord Jesus, we ask you to raise up new laborers for your harvest.
Call young men and women to serve you
with undivided hearts,
and give them the courage to answer.
We ask this through Mary, Mother of the Church. Amen.
