Your people are longing to hear your word.
Send laborers to your harvest - men and women on fire with your love.
We pray for dedicated single people,
who incarnate your presence in their daily lives,
whose availability enables them to respond to the diversity of needs.
We pray for married couples
whose relationships serve as a sign of your fidelity to your people,
whose love overflows to their children and neighbors.
We pray for ordained ministers,
who gather the prayers and longing of your people,
who serve as a channel of your presence through the sacraments.
We pray for religious sisters and brothers, and priest,
whose life in community foreshadows our eternal unity in Christ,
whose service brings your life to thue world.
May each of us respond with courage
and generosity to our particular vocations,
and may the Church recognize the Spirit's call to men and
women of good will, trusting in your abundance
to answer all our needs.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
