Pray for Vocations

Join The Vocations Prayer Team

Vocations are a tremendous gift from God and needed now more than ever! As Bishop Bob loves to say, Jesus told us that the harvest is great and the laborers few, and so we need to beg the Harvest Master to send more laborers into His vineyard. Please consider helping us beg the Lord to call more young men and women to join our community by becoming a member of the Franciscans of the Eucharist Vocations Prayer Team.

Prayer team members incorporate praying for vocations in whatever way best first in their schedules and prayer rhythms. Members also receive a quarterly email newsletter that shares vocation-related news.

We also encourage members - and everyone else as well! - to join us in praying the the following prayer:

Prayer for Vocations

Most High, Glorious God,
Enlighten the darkness of our hearts.
Instill in us
A correct faith, a certain hope,
And a perfect love,
A sense and a knowledge, Lord,
That we may do Your holy and true command. Amen.

Heavenly Father, we beg you to inspire the hearts of many young men and women to join the Franciscans of the Eucharist of Chicago. We pray through the intercession of Our Lady of the Angels, St. Francis, and all the Saints for many new vocations, so that the poor can be cared for and the Gospel can be preached and taught with zeal. Amen.

Our Father... Hail Mary... Glory Be...
