VOCATION PRAYER CALENDAR
January - April 2008

for all Priests, Deacons, Seminarians and Women & Men Religious in the Diocese of Joliet

Prayer for Vocations
Pope John Paul II
Lord Jesus, as you once called the first disciples to make them fishers of men, let your sweet invitation continue to resound: Come, follow me! Give young men and women the grace of responding quickly to your voice. Support our bishops, priests and consecrated people in their apostolic labor. Grant perseverance to our seminarians and to all those who are carrying out the ideal of a life totally consecrated to your service. Awaken in our community a missionary eagerness. Lord, send workers to your harvest and do not allow humanity to be lost for the lack of pastors, missionaries and people dedicated to the cause of the Gospel. Mary, Mother of the Church, the model of every vocation, help us to say Yes to the Lord who calls us to cooperate in the divine plan of salvation. Amen.

---

For an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life, especially in the Diocese of Joliet,
we pray to the Lord. Lord, hear our prayer.
