PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS
Loving God,
Each member of our family is a special gift from You.
You have given us each gifts and talents to share with others and to help us live life in all its fullness.
Help us to know how to encourage and support each other so that we can respond generously to our Baptismal call.
Help us to foster a culture of vocations in our family and parish so that people will respond to the call to serve You through the vocation of ordained ministry or religious life. Help us to be aware that You are with us as we strive to become the kind of people You call us to be.
We make this our prayer through Jesus who lived his call to the full. Amen.
