Heavenly Father, help all our young people to know their vocation in life, and assist them to prepare for it.

For your greater glory, and for the service of the Church and all your people, call many to be priests and religious. Give those whom you call grace to respond generously, and to persevere faithfully.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord.

Amen.

Mary Mother of the Church, show your care for the Body of Christ, encourage many vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
