Lord God
You have entrusted to your Church
a share in the mission of your Son in the world:
help each and every member of this Church
to discern their calling to a particular ministry,
to seek the training that they require, and
to accept the vocation to which you direct them;
through Jesus Christ our Lord
and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Amen
