We, the faithful of the Catholic Church, come together in prayer to petition our church leaders for priests and sisters. We humbly ask that the Lord open the hearts of those who feel called to serve as priests and sisters, that they may be blessed with strength and courage to answer His call. We also ask for increased vocations to the priesthood and religious life so that our beloved Church may continue to have strong spiritual leadership. As we pray, we trust that God will listen to our petitions and provide us with more holy men and women who will dedicate their lives to serving Him. Amen.O Lord, who called your servant Abraham to leave his land and kindred and go to the land that you would show him, we humbly pray that you would pour forth your spirit of courage and faith upon those whom you have chosen to lead your Church as priests. Strengthen their hearts in the knowledge of your Word and your will, grant them a willing spirit of obedience, and fill their souls with an ardent zeal for souls. May they remain faithful to their calling, loving you above all else; kind and compassionate toward their flock; and exemplary in their fidelity. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
