Prayer for Vocations (Pope Benedict XVI)
O Father, raise up among Christians numerous and holy vocations to the priesthood, to keep the faith alive and guard the gracious memory of your Son Jesus
through the preaching of his word and the administration of the Sacraments, with which you continually renew your faithful.
Give us holy ministers of your altar, who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist, the sacrament of the supreme gift of Christ for the redemption of the
world. Call ministers of your mercy,who, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, spread the joy of your forgiveness.
Grant, O Father, that the Church
may welcome with joy numerous inspirations of the Spirit of your Sonand, docile to His teachings, may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood and
to the consecrated life. Sustain the Bishops, priests and deacons, consecrated men and women, and all the baptized in Christ, so that they may faithfully fulfill
their mission at the service of the Gospel. This we pray You through Christ our Lord. Amen
Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us.
