PRAYER FOR All VOCATIONS

Creator of the Universe, God of the Nations,
Your people are longing to hear your word.
Send labourers into your harvest -
women and men on fire with your love: 

Dedicated single people -
who incarnate your presence
in their daily lives,
whose availability enables them
to respond to a diversity of needs. 

Married couples - whose relationships serve as a sign
of your fidelity to your people,
whose love overflows to their children and neighbours. 

Ordained Ministers - who gather the prayers and longing
of your people, who serve as a channel of your presence
through the sacraments. 
 
Religious sisters, brothers, and priests -
whose life in community foreshadows
our eternal unity in Christ,
whose service brings your life to
the world. 

May each of us respond with courage and generosity
to our particular vocations,
and may the Church recognize
the Spirit's call to men and women of
good will,trusting in your abundance to answer all our needs. 
 
Amen.
