Father, in your loving plan for the salvation of your people, you call some to follow your Son's life of service as priests, deacons, and religious. In your goodness, inspire many men and women in the Diocese of Worcester to answer your call by laying down their lives for the sake of the Kingdom. Grant to them the grace to follow you in all things wherever you lead. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
May Mary our Mother intercede for us that we may have many holy vocations coming from our families and our parishes. St. Paul, pray for us.
