Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus Christ,
Shepherd of our 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 posses you is to posses all things.

Kindle in their hearts the fire of your 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
 
Mary, Queen of the Clergy, pray for us.
Help our students who are preparing for the priesthood.
