LORD of the Harvest,
BLESS young people
with the gift of courage to respond to your call.
INSPIRE all of your disciples
to mutual love and giving —
for vocations blossom in the
good soil of faithful people.
INSTILL those in religious life,
parish ministries, and families
with the confidence and grace
to invite others to embrace
the bold and noble path of a life
consecrated to you.
UNITE us to Jesus through prayer and sacrament,
so that we may cooperate with you
in building your reign of mercy and truth,
of justice and peace.
Amen.
A prayer inspired by Pope Francis' message to the 51. World Prayer Day for vocations
Read the Pope's Letter to Religious on the occasion of the Year of the Consecrated life or the circular letter Rejoice! speaking of joy in the consecrated life.
