Vocations from Parish
Wichita Diocesan Prayer for Priestly Vocations:
O God, the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. We
pray for young men with the heart of Jesus your son; for young men full of
zeal for the good of all; for committed men who will bring the Word of your
Salvation to a weary world; for fellow laborers with Christ to spend and
consume themselves for souls. Give them generous hearts to respond to your
challenging call and the strength to follow you wherever you lead them.
Amen.

Prayer for Vocations:
Lord Jesus, together with Mary your most holy mother, who
stood beside you in the hour of your redeeming sacrifice, we pray that many

collaborate in the mission of redemption. Amen. -- Pope John Paul II
