St. Mary's Catholic Church & Missions at 313 West Main Street, Mount Olive, NC 28365 US - Prayers For Vocations

We turn to you, Mother of the Church.

Through your "fiat," you have opened the door which makes Christ present in the world,

 in history, and in individual lives. 

In humble silence and in total availability,

you welcomed the call of the Most High.

May there be many men and women in our day who respond to your Son's invitation,

"Follow me!"

Grant them courage to leave family, work, and earthly hope to follow Christ along the road that He walked.

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us and for an increase of priestly and religious vocations.

Amen.

 Prayer for Vocations

O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your knowledge, understanding,

and counsel to youth that they may know the vocation wherein they can best serve God.

Give them courage and strength to follow God's holy will.

Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions,

shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts,

and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's holy service.

Amen.
