Open The Hearts Of Your Children

Ordination by Nicolas Poussin (1640)

Please join us in prayer on this World Day of Prayer for Vocations:

O God, Father of all Mercies,

Provider of a bountiful Harvest,

send Your Graces upon those

You have called to gather the fruits of Your labor;

preserve and strengthen them in their lifelong service of you.

Open the hearts of Your children

that they may discern Your Holy Will;

inspire in them a love and desire to surrender themselves

to serving others in the name of Your son, Jesus Christ.

Teach all Your faithful to follow their respective paths in life

guided by Your Divine Word and Truth.

Through the intercession of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary,

all the Angels, and Saints, humbly hear our prayers

and grant Your Church's needs, through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

 Saint John Paul II, Pray for Us!
