Lord Jesus
The ministry of priests is a sign of your unfailing care. Call from among us the priests needed for the Church of today and tomorrow.
Bless all students for the priesthood. Grant them joy, wisdom, courage and a generous spirit.
Sustain priests with a real sense of your love and the support of those they are called to serve. Keep them faithful to their calling. Amen.

Almighty and eternal God, you are the source of every gift and vocation.
You call us all to place our lives at your service.
Help us to be faithful in listening and responding to your invitation and lead us in the path of true discipleship.
As you called the first disciples to leave their nets and follow you, let your call to the priesthood continue to resound in the Church today.
Raise up for your Church holy and zealous priests to nourish and care for your people. Grant us good shepherds after your own heart, to guide and care for your flock.
May we all bear witness to your truth and love, so that the world may come to know you as Lord and Saviour.
We sk this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.
