PRAYER FOR DOMINICAN VOCATIONS

Lord Jesus, moved by the urgent need of Priests, Religious and Lay Apostles, and obeying Your plea to pray the Lord of the harvest to send labourers to work for the salvation of souls, we implore You, through the intercession of Your most holy Mother Mary, Virgin Immaculate and Queen of the Holy Rosary, and also through the intercession of Dominic, the holy Patriarch, to increase in the Order of Preachers the number of Friars, Nuns, Sisters and Laity. Pour forth into families and schools the precious grace of the apostolic vocation, and enkindle in young hearts the sacred fire of the love of God and of souls. Prepare those whom You call, and incline them to desire and to ask for that grace. Preserve them from sin and from the many dangers of these times. Enlighten their minds, purify their hearts, strengthen their wills, aid them to cultivate constantly and diligently the divine seed planted in their souls at Baptism, and guide them on the upward path of toil and purity that leads to the summits of Truth. And as you, O Mary, Mother of Mercy and Patroness of the Order of Preachers, did long ago present your servant Dominic to Jesus, so now offer your sons and daughters to Him each day, and make us ever more worthy of our sublime vocation and mission. Obtain for your Order, our Dominican Family, many faithful followers of its religious traditions; numerous apostles, male and female, after the heart of our Blessed Father Dominic, holy and zealous for the salvation of souls. Amen.

" Daily Prayer for Priests "

O Almighty, Eternal God, look upon the Face of Your Son and for love of Him, who is the Eternal High Priest, have pity on Your Priests. Remember, O most compassionate God, that they are but weak and frail human beings. Stir up in them the grace of their vocation which is in them by the imposition of the bishop's hands. Keep them close to You, lest the enemy prevail against them, so that they may never do anything in the slightest degree unworthy of their sublime vocation.

O Jesus, I pray for Your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful and tepid priests; for Your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for Your tempted priests; for the lonely and desolate priests; for Your young priests; for Your dying priests; for the souls of Your priests in purgatory.

But above all, I commend to you [ N. ] and all the priests dearest to me, the priest who baptized me, the priests who have absolved me from my sins, the priests whose masses I have assisted and who have offered me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion, the priests who have taught and instructed me or helped and encouraged me, and the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way.

O Jesus, keep them all close to Your Heart, and bless them abundantly in time and in eternity. Amen.

Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us and obtain for us many faithful and holy priests.
