DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME - Prayer for Vocations

Lord Jesus, as You gave us Your life You said, "Do this in memory of Me." May all Your disciples fulfill Your command of love. Raise up humble men to the Priesthood, faithful people to the Consecrated Life, and holy men and women to married life.

May all hear Your call to holiness and have the courage to respond with generous hearts. Amen.

Lord, I know that You love me. Give me the wisdom to discern Your will for my life.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
