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.
