Loving God,
You speak to us and nourish us
through the life of your church community.
In the name of Jesus, we ask you to send
your Spirit to us that men and women among us,
young and old, will respond to your call to
service in the church.
We pray especially in our day,
for those who hear your invitation
to be a priest, sister or brother.
May those who are opening their
hearts and minds to your call be encouraged
and strengthened through
our enthusiasm in you service.
Amen.
