Prayer for Vocations # 4

Heavenly Father,

bless your Church with an abundance

of holy and zealous priests,

deacons, brothers and sisters.

Give those you have called to the married state

and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the worldthe special graces that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that

in him, with him and through him

we may love you more deeply

and serve you more faithfully,

always and everywhere.

With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
