Prayers of the Faithful

 for May 3, 2020

• On this World Day of Prayer for Vocations, we pray that teens and young people will overcome fear of unworthiness and truly consider a vocation to priesthood or religious life. We pray to the Lord.

• That the example of religious sisters and brothers will attract many young people to give their lives to Jesus. We pray to the Lord.

• For all Catholics struggling to discern their vocations, that the Holy Spirit give them wisdom and peace. We pray to the Lord.

• That God will call young men from our own parish to become priests. We pray to the Lord.

• For those in our parish called to profess vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. We pray to the Lord.

• That teachers and youth ministers will encourage children and teens to respond to God’s call.  We pray to the Lord.

• That parents have the grace to guide their children through the trials of life, and to help them discern not just their careers, but also their vocations. We pray to the Lord.

• For the deceased clergy and religious who have served our parish, that the Good Shepherd will welcome them with open arms. We pray to the Lord.
