Gracious God, we praise you
for your love and compassion.
You gave us your son, Jesus, to be our Shepherd
who calls us and guides us along the path of life.
May we be attentive to his voice in our
world
and discern how we may follow Jesus.
Bless all who listen to your call
and dedicate their lives to you.
Strengthen them in their vocational commitment.
Inspire women and men to recognize your
call
and to respond openheartedly to your invitation.
May the Church be blessed with an increase of
vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
With gratitude we offer our prayer
through Christ, our Shepherd,
in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
