For Vocations Prayer

Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd.
You know each of us
and You call us by name
to serve in faith.
Help us respond generously to Your voice.
Give courage and guidance 
to those You call to the priesthood 
and the diaconate,
to religious life and lay ministry,
so they respond wholeheartedly
and serve devotedly.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen
