Pope Francis’ Prayer for Vocations

Lord of the Harvest,
bless young people with the gift of
courage to respond to your call.
Open their hearts to great ideals,
to great things.
Inspire all of your disciples to mutual
love and giving,
for vocations blossom in the good soil
of faithful people.
Instil those in religious life,
parish ministries,
and families with the confidence
and grace to invite others to embrace
the bold and noble path of a life
consecrated to you.
Unite us to Jesus
through prayer and sacrament,
so that we may cooperate with you
in building your reign of mercy and
truth, of justice and peace.
Amen.
