Prayer of the Day Saint Josemaria Escriva Prayer for Vocations

St Escriva Prayer for Vocations   
Prayer of the Day  

A Prayer of the Day St Escriva Prayer for Vocations

O God, all powerful Father, through the intercession of the virgin of the Pillar and of St. Josemaria, who was a seminarian and priest of the diocese of Zaragoza, grant holy and abundant vocations for our seminarians, to the measure of the Heart of Christ, the Good Shepherd. Grant that all priests may carry out their ministry with desires of holiness and be authentic pastors close to God, to their bishop, to their brother priests and to the people of God.

Through Christ, our Lord, 
Amen.
  
Note: Every so often I post a prayer I use as part of my daily prayers. I started praying this one after finding it on a new prayer card on retreat in the winter of 2025. I try and pray this daily during my evening prayers.
