VOCATIONS PRAYER Almighty God, Holy King, we pray that more of Your people will be
generous in responding to Your invitation to be priests, deacons, nuns and monks. Teach them to follow
in Jesus’ footprints by bringing the light of the Holy Spirit to all people. For You are Holy our God,
and we give glory to You: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and forever. Amen.
