A Prayer for Religious Vocations

O Jesus, Son of God and of the Virgin Immaculate, dearest Lord, Who at the age of twelve was left behind in the temple for three days in order to do the will of Him who sent You, and to take up Your Father’s business; grant, by the merits of the sorrow which Mary and Joseph suffered from this loss, an increase of vocations for Your holy work, especially from among the children who are entrusted to our care.

Inflame our teachers with zeal to discover and nourish true vocations for You from within our school; and draw these children by Your holy example to remove all obstacles which may hinder them from pursuing their vocations.

 Holy Mary, obtain for our parents generosity of spirit and a holy faith and love for your Divine Son, that they may be eager and willing to make sacrifices for their children’s sake, if God should call them to a religious vocation. Amen.

Jesus, our Brother, Your mission on earth was to seek out the sick, rejected, broken, the sinner, and the forsaken.

Send Your Spirit of mission and ministry to those You have chosen to become priests, brothers, sisters, or deacons.

We pray that Your Kingdom of love may spread into all hearts. May Your Kingdom come.

Amen.

For The Holy Family

Faithful God, we pray for all families who have been forced from their homes by war, or flood, or the need to find food.  Grant them courage as they travel, safety as they seek refuge, and hope for a secure future.  And may we, who have been given so much, learn to be generous and welcoming to those who, fearful and needy, seek shelter among us.  Amen.

Prayers request can be sent to the school.
