Prayer for Vocations
Compassionate God, You speak your word to us through prophets of long ago and continue to reveal your message of love today. With great expectation we look to your Spirit to work in our world, empowering us to serve you as Jesus did.
May we listen for your word and respond generously to your call. Renew in us thy grace of our baptism. Strengthen married couples, single men and women, deacons, priests, sisters, and brothers as they seek to serve you by sharing their love and compassion. Grant wisdom to those who are discerning their call. With gratitude we proclaim the Good News of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
National Vocation Awareness Week begins with the feast of the Baptism of the Lord on Monday. We are invited to renew our baptismal commitment and to pray for a strengthening of all vocations.
