For Vocations to the Priestly and Religious Life
Lord, Jesus Christ,
Savior of the world, show forth, we beseech Thee,
in Thy Church the Holy Spirit with whose power the apostles
were so abundantly filled.
We thank Thee for the blessings bestowed upon the work of priests
and religious; and we pray that Thou wilt add to the number of those
who now pray, labor, and sacrifice themselves for Thy glory.
O good Jesus,
give us more priests and religious
after Thine own Heart!
(The Prayer Book
Imprimatur Samuel Cardinal Stritch
Archbishop of Chicago May10, 1954)
