Prayer for Priestly Vocations

Lord Jesus Christ, Shepherd of souls,
who called the apostles to be fishers of men,
raise up new apostles in your holy Church.

Teach them that to serve you is to reign:
to possess you is to possess all things.

Kindle in the hearts of your people
the fire of zeal for souls.

Make them eager
to spread your Kingdom upon earth.

Grant them courage to follow you,
who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life;
who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.
