Vocation Prayer
Dear
Father,
Shine
your light upon me so that I may see my true vocation. Give me the grace
to hear your word and be an example to others of your love for us.
I pray
for all in Priesthood, Consecrated life, Marriage and Single life, and
for all who are listening to your call, that they may answer you in
their vocation.
Thank you for sending your son Jesus - Lord of the Harvest - help me to
follow His example. May I freely, courageously and lovingly respond.
Amen. |
