For an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate and religious life, especially in the Diocese of Joliet.
We pray to the Lord.
Lord, hear our prayer.
God our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that You inspire young people whom You call to priesthood and consecrated life to courageously follow Your will. Send workers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and Your people are strengthened by the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
