~Prayer for Vocations~
O Holy Spirit, Spirit of wisdom and divine love, impart Your
knowledge, understanding, and counsel to our youth that they
may know the vocation wherein they are called by God to
serve. Give them courage and strength to follow Divine Will.
Guide their uncertain steps, strengthen their resolutions,
shield their chastity, fashion their minds, conquer their hearts,
and lead them to the vineyards where they will labor in God's
holy service. Amen.
