Monday Prayer for Vocations
Gracious God, grant us holy ministers of Your altar, who are careful and fervent guardians of the Eucharist, and call forth ministers of Your mercy, who, through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, spread the joy of Your forgiveness. Amen.
Tuesday Prayer for Vocations
Grant, O Father, that the Church may welcome with joy the numerous inspirations of the Spirit of Your Son and, docile to His teachings, may she care for vocations to the ministerial priesthood and to the consecrated life. Amen

Friday Prayer for Vocations
May the Virgin, who promptly answered the call of the Father by saying, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord," intercede so that we will not lack servants of divine joy: priests who announce the Gospel faithfully and celebrate the Sacraments, take care of the people of God, and are ready to evangelize humanity. Amen
Saturday Prayer for Vocations
May Mary ensure, in our times, and increase in the number of consecrated persons who go against the current, living the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, and give witness in a prophetic way to Christ and His liberating message of salvation. Amen
