Prayerfully support Vocations
Our seminarians represent the future of the Catholic Church. Their voices will proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the words of absolution, the words of consecration. Their hands will be anointing us, blessing us, baptizing our children and grandchildren, and raising the Host over our bowed heads. They will extend the priesthood of Jesus Christ and the saving power of His Sacrifice in the world for the next generations.

PRAY FOR OUR PRIESTSWe should pray for all priests because they are chosen by God to serve His people. They can be strengthened by our prayers to live their vocation well in a way that is holy and pleasing to Him.
Gracious and loving God, we thank your for the gift of our priests. Through them, we experience your presence in the sacraments.
Help our priests to be strong in their vocation. Set their souls on fire with love for your people.
Grant them the wisdom, understanding, and strength they need to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Inspire them with the vision of your Kingdom.
Give them the words they need to spread the Gospel. Allow them to experience joy in their ministry. Help them to become instruments of your divine grace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns as our Eternal Priest.
Amen.
