Prayer to Know My Vocation.

Lord, my God and my loving Father,
you have made me to know you,
to love you, to serve you,
and thereby to find and to fulfill myself.
I know that you are in all things,
and that every path can lead me to you.
But of them all, there is one especially
by which you want me to come to you.
Since I will do what you want of me,
I pray you, send your Holy Spirit to me: into my mind,
to show me what you want of me; into my heart,
to give me the determination to do it,
and to do it with all my love, with all my mind,
and with all my strength right to the end.

Compassionate Heart of Jesus,
graciously listen to our prayers.
Give us generous hearts
to respond to your call in our lives.
Lift up courageous men and women
willing to follow after your heart
as priests, sisters, brothers, and deacons.
Help parents and teachers to share the
faith and to encourage young people
to explore religious vocations.
Guide all people, Lord, in your ways
of compassion, truth, and peace,
that we may find happiness
in fulfilling our vocation.
Amen.
