Prayer for the seminarians and for the increase of priestly vocations:
God the Father,
That with the example of your Son teach us that there is no true love without the generous dedication of one’s life, it helps those who prepare in our seminaries to be shepherds according to your heart, close to you, and close to our brothers and sisters.
May they be in the midst of our society your eyes and your hands, to see, to heal and to accompany so many that are wounded in the way.
May you not lack in your Church young people willing to serve you according to your will, that with your life and your word show others your merciful love.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen.
