PRAYER FOR DEACONS –Lord Jesus, you came to serve, not to be served, form within us your generous spirit; fill us with your love, that we may love the Father as you love him. Fill us with your compassion, that we may see our brothers and sisters as you see them. Fill us with your courage, that we may give our lives in service to the Church as you gave your life for her. Fill us with that Spirit which will maKe us preachers of your Word, ministers if yor Sacrifice, servants if your Bride, friends of the poor, and the voice of the forgotten. Transform us through your Holy Spirit so that we may transform the world into Your Kingdom of justice and faith. Amen.

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS –O Lord Jesus, you have chosen priests from among us and sent them to ptoclaim your word and to act in your name. For so great a gift to your Church, we give you praise and thanksgiving. We ask you to fill them with the fire of your love, that their ministry may reveal your presence in the Church. Since they are earthen vessels, we pray that your power shine through their weakness. In their afflictions, let them never be crushed; in their doubts, never dispair; in temptation, never be destroyed; in persecution, never abandoned. Inspire them through prayer to live each day the mystery of your dying and rising. In times of weakness send them your Spirit, and help them to praise your hesvenly Father and to pray for poor sinners. By the same Holy Spirit, put your word on their lips and your love in their hearts, to bring good news to the poor aNd healing to the broken-hearted. And may the gift of Mary, your Mother, to the Disciple whom you loved, be your gift to every priest. Grant that she who formed you in her human image, may form in them your divine image, by the power of your Spirit, to the glory of God the Father. Amen

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS.

JESUS, God made Man, who didst come down from heaven to save sinners and to diffuse thy Charity throughout the world, it is thy Will that souls shall be brought to thee through the members of thy Church who are called to dedicate their lives to thy service. We pray therefore that many may hear thy call, some to the sacred priesthood, others to the life of prayer in the cloister or of dedication to the works of mercy; to feeding the hungry, to sheltering the orphan and the aged, to healing the sick and to instructing our children.

Multiply among us churches which are truly houses of prayer and priests who are men of God. Make our Catholic homes fortresses against the influence of the wicked and the worldly; inspire both parents and children with the spirit of self-sacrifice. Bless our schools wherein those same children are taught to seek first the Kingdom of God. Teach us all how great an honour it is to hear thy voice inviting us to follow thee.

The harvest, Lord Jesus, is great but the labourers are still too few. Send labourers, dear Lord, into fields ripe for the harvest.

Mary, through whom all graces come, multiply vocations to the service of thy Son.
