Pray for Vocations!
PRAYER
TO
BLESSED JUNIPERO SERRA
FOR VOCATIONS
O God, Who will not the death of a sinner
but rather that he be converted and live,
grant we beseech you,
through the intercession of the Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
Saint Joseph, her spouse,
Blessed Junipero Serra,
and all the saints,
an increase of laborers for your Church,
fellow laborers with Christ to spend and consume themselves
for souls through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever. AMEN
From
the
Archdiocese of Denver Office of Vocations. Used with
permission.
Hail
Mary, full of grace;
all generations call you blessed.
Hail
Mother of God;
when asked by the angel to bear the Son of the Most High, filled
with faith, you responded: "Let it be done unto me."
Holy
Mother of Jesus,
at the wedding feast at Cana, you prompted your Son to perform
his first sign. Be with us as we discern our life's work and guide
us in the way we are called to follow in the footsteps of your
Son.
Holy
Mother of the Savior,
at the foot of the cross you mourned the death of your only Son.
Bless and embrace the loving parents of all priests, deacons,
brothers and sisters.
Holy
Mother of the Good Shepherd,
turn your motherly care to this nation. Intercede for us to the
Lord of the harvest to send more laborers to the harvest in this
land dedicated to your honor.
Queen
of Peace, Mirror of Justice, Health of the Sick,
inspire vocations in our time. Let the word of your Son be made
flesh anew in the lives of persons anxious to proclaim the good
news of everlasting life.
Amen.
