Our Father, who art in heaven, together with all priests, I offer you Jesus-Host and myself:
- In adoration and thanksgiving,
because in your Son,
you are the author of the priesthood,
of the religious life, and of every vocation; - In reparation to your fatherly heart
for those vocations that are neglected,
hindered, or not corresponded to; - To restore to you, in Jesus Christ,
whatever those called have lacked
concerning your glory,
your people, and themselves; - That everyone may understand
the plea of Jesus Christ:
“The harvest is great,
but the laborers are few.
Pray the Lord of the harvest
to send laborers into his harvest”; - That everywhere a family,
social, and religious environment
may be formed that is favorable
to vocational development and response;
- That parents, priests, and educators,
with their words
and with material and spiritual help,
may open the way for those called; - That Jesus Master,
Way, and Truth, and Life,
may be followed in the direction
and formation of vocations; - That those who
are called may become holy,
and be the light of the world,
the salt of the earth; - That in every person
a deep vocational
awareness may be formed:
all Catholics with all the means,
for all vocations and apostolates; - That all of us recognize
our ignorance and unworthiness,
and the need we have
to remain humbly before your tabernacle,
prayerfully invoking light, love, and grace.
