Every person is called by God for a particular purpose, for a specific vocation within their life. God calls all of us to lead a holy and faithful life, but He may call some of us to find that holiness as a priest or as a religious brother or sister. Today we pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

Let us pray: Father, You call all who believe in You to grow perfect in love by following in the footsteps of Christ your Son. May those whom You have chosen to serve You as religious provide by their way of life a convincing sign of your kingdom for the Church and the whole world. Amen.

School Prayer Lord, I thank you for bringing me to another day. May I live it completely for You, Through you, With You and in you. Amen

Blessed John Henry Newman, Pray for Us.
