Prayer for Vocations

 

Loving God, you call all who believe in you

to grow perfect in love by following in the footsteps

of Christ your Son.

 

Call from among us more men and women

who will serve you as religious.

By their way of life, may they provide a convincing sign

of your Kingdom for the Church and the whole world.

We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.

 

Gracious and loving God, help the

men and women of our parish to hear the

call to serve in the Diocese of Norwich.

Our needs are great and our people

thirst for your presence.

 

Open the hearts of many, raise up

faithful servants of the Gospel, dedicated,

holy priests, sisters, brothers and deacons,

who will spend themselves for your people and their needs.

 

Bless those who are serving now

with courage and perseverance.

Grant that many will be inspired by their

example and faith.

 

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
