VOCATION PRAYER: Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd.  You know each of us and You call us by name to serve in faith.  Help us respond generously to Your voice.  Give courage and guidance to those You call to the priesthood and the deaconate, to religious life and lay ministry, so they may respond wholeheartedly and serve devotedly.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.
