Vocations “are a gift from God,” and they are born of the communities of faith...
The entire people of God is responsible for promoting vocations, and does so
chiefly by persistent and humble prayer for vocations.
(Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia in America, #40)

Holy and provident Father,
You are the Lord of the vineyard and the harvest, and you give each a just reward for their work.
In your design of love You call men and women to work with You for the salvation of the world.
Send new workers into Your harvest.

Christ Jesus,
who on the shores of the Sea of Galilee called the Apostles and made them the foundation of the Church and bearers of Your Gospel, in our day, sustain Your people on its journey.
Give courage to those whom You call to follow You in the priesthood and the consecrated life

Spirit of holiness,
help young people to discover the beauty of the divine call.
Help them to read the signs of the times, so as to be faithful interpreters of Your Gospel and bearers of salvation.

“pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest”
(Mt. 9:38)
