LORD of the Harvest,

BLESS young people with the gift of courage to respond to your call.

Open their hearts to great ideals to great things.

INSPIRE all of your disciples to mutual love and giving -for vocations to blossom in the good soil of faithful people.

INSTILL those in religious life, parish ministries and families With the confidence and grace to invite others to embrace the bold and noble path of life consecrated to you.

UNITE us to Jesus through prayer and sacrament, so that we may co-operate with you in building your reign of mercy and truth, of justice and peace.

Amen.

Adapted from Pope Francis’ Message

on the 51st World Day of Prayer for Vocations

Oh Sacrament most holy

Oh Sacrament divine

All praise and all thanksgiving

Be every moment thine
