Father, in every generation you provide
ministers of Christ and the Church.
We come before you now, asking that
you call forth more men to serve our
Archdiocese in the ministerial priesthood.
Give us priests who will lead and guide
your holy people gathered by Word
and Sacrament.
Bless us with priestly vocations so
that we can continue to be a truly
Eucharistic Church, strengthened in
our discipleship of Jesus Christ,
your Only Son.
Raise up, we pray, men who are generous
in their service, willing to offer their lives
and all their gifts for your greater glory
and for the good of your people.
We make our prayer in the presence and
power of the Holy Spirit, through Christ,
Our Lord. Amen. Note: These prayers are on the Archdiocesan website, www.la-archdiocese.org. There will also be translations in Vietnamese, Korean and Tagalog available on the website as well. |
