PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

O God, you desire that all men and women should be saved

and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Kindle in the hearts of young men and women of our Chaplaincy

a spark of vocation to the Priestly and Religious Life

and grant them the generosity to answer your call.

May they speak your word with all confidence that all may come to know you.

Grant to parents the grace to help your Church

in the task of working for the spread of your kingdom.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS

O Jesus, Eternal Priest, keep the priests, your servants,

within the shelter of your Sacred Heart, where no one may harm them.

Keep unstained their anointed hands, which daily touch your Sacred Body.

Keep unsullied their lips purpled with your precious blood.

Keep pure their hearts sealed with the sublime marks of your glorious priesthood.

Let your holy love surround them and shield them from the world's contamination.

Bless their labours with abundant fruit,

and may the souls to whom they minister here below

be their joy and consolation,

and in heaven, their beautiful and everlasting crown. Amen

One Our Father, One Hail Mary...,and One Glory Be...
