The Serran Prayer for Vocations
"Oh God, Who wills not the death of a sinner, but rather he be
converted and live, grant, we beseech You, through the intersession of
the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin, St. Joseph, her Spouse, Blessed Junipero Serra, and all the Saints,
an increase of laborers for Your Church, fellow laborers with Christ to
spend and consume themselves for souls, through the same Jesus Christ,
your Son, Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen."
Millennium Prayer for Vocations
Holy Father, look upon this humanity of ours,
that is taking its first steps along the path
of the Third Millennium.
Its life is still deeply marked
by hatred, violence and oppression,
but the thirst for justice, truth and grace
still finds a space in the hearts of many people,
who are waiting for someone to bring salvation,
enacted by You through Your Son Jesus.
There is the need for courageous heralds of the Gospel,
for generous
servants of suffering humanity.
Send holy priests to Your Church, we pray,
who may sanctify Your people with the tools of Your grace.
Send numerous consecrated men and women,
that they may show Your holiness in the midst of the world.
Send holy laborers into Your vineyard,
that they may labor with the fervor of charity
and, moved by Your Holy Spirit,
may bring the salvation of Christ
to the farthest ends of the Earth. Amen.
- Pope John Paul II
The Serran Prayer for Perseverance of Vocations:
Oh God,you have constituted your only begotten Son,
Supreme and Eternal
Priest for the Glory of Your majesty
and the salvation of mankind; grant
that those whom He
has chosen ministers and dispensers of His mysteries
may
be found faithful in fulfilling the ministry they have received."
