• Prayer For Vocations

  Hail Mary, full of grace; all generations call you blessed.
  
  Hail Mother of God; when asked by the angel to bear the Son of the Most High, filled with faith you responded: "Let it be done unto me."
  
  Holy Mother of Jesus, at the wedding feast at Cana, you prompted your Son to perform his first sign.
  
  Be with us as we discern our life's work and guide us in the way we are called to follow in the footsteps of your Son.
  
  Holy Mother of the Savior, at the foot of the cross you mourned the death of your only Son.
  
  Bless and embrace the loving parents of all priests, deacons, and brothers and sisters.
  
  Holy Mother of the Good Shepherd, turn your motherly care to this nation.
  
  Intercede for us to the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers to the harvest in this land dedicated to your honor.
  
  Queen of Peace, Mirror of Justice, Health of the Sick, inspire vocations in our time.
  
  Let the word of your Son be made flesh anew in the lives of persons anxious to proclaim the good news of everlasting life.
  
  Amen.
