Prayer for Religious Priests, Brothers
and Sisters
Heavenly Father, in Your wisdom You have called certain
women and men to a life of special consecration so that in
prayerful observance of a lifestyle of poverty, chaste celibacy and
obedience, they might be witnesses to us that, as Saint Paul
says, “our true citizenship is in heaven.” Give them, Lord, the
grace of joy and perseverance in their holy vocation.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer for the Laity
Heavenly Father, You have called us all to holiness which means
sharing in Your divine life. Fill us with a sense of our true dignity
as those called to be Your daughters and sons in the world and
Your ambassadors of justice, love and peace. Give us the desire to
be worthy of this great calling and the courage to live up to it.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayer in Time of Need
Heavenly Father, in my present need, help me to believe that
You are aware of my anxiety and will do what is best for me.
Give me the strength to trust You and put the present and future
in Your hands. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
