May Prayer Intention

PRAYER FOR PRIESTS AND VOCATIONS

Father, You have appointed Your Son Jesus Christ eternal High Priest.
Guide those He has chosen to be ministers of Word and Sacrament
and help them to be faithful in fulfilling the ministry they have received.

Lord Jesus, transform the hearts and lives of those You are calling to serve as priests, deacons, missionaries, brothers and sisters in Your Church.
Make them living reflections of Your Heart and channels of Your mercy to others.
Open their eyes to see Your presence in souls around them; open their ears to the appeals of others; inspire them with Your message of forgiveness and comfort;
strengthen them for the service of those in need as You prepare them to reflect Your mercy. Call many generous souls to Your service, and transform them into ministers of Your mercy, for You can do all things.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

We will be having a monthly prayer intention throughout the year and if anyone has ideas for areas of intercession please let us know. The first meeting of each month will be set aside for praying for the particular monthly intention.
