Heavenly Father,
Through all generations,
You have chosen men to serve You
by sharing in the Holy Priesthood of Christ,
Your Son.

We beg You to call men from our diocese
to serve as priests at the altar,
and to send Your Holy Spirit
to help them discern Your call.
Give them understanding to know Your will
and courage to follow it.

Pour out, too, Your grace
upon women from our parishes
to serve You in religious life,
formed after the model of our Blessed Mother.

We ask this through our eternal High Priest and King,
Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Archbishop Coyne has asked that this prayer be prayed at the end of every Mass in the diocese.
