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 world, the 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.
Thank you for all that you do to support and encourage priestly, diaconate, and religious vocations in your parish by your example of joy in your own vocation, and by your efforts to help our young people to discern their vocation. In Christ,
