Gracious God and Father,

We praise You for Your goodness and love. You teach us that each vocation is born in prayer and only through prayer does it persevere and bear fruit.

We ask You to stir the hearts of all those You call to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life in the Diocese of Saint Cloud. Make them generous. Make them courageous. Make them joyful in giving everything to Jesus.

Send Your Holy Spirit upon our families and our children. Choose from our parishes, our homes and our schools those called to this adventure of sanctity. With Mary, Mother of every vocation, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
