Pope Francis April prayer intention
Young People.
That young people may respond generously to their
vocations and seriously consider offering themselves
to God in the priesthood or consecrated life.
O God, Father of all Mercies,
Provider of a bountiful Harvest, send Your
Graces upon those
You have called to gather the fruits of Your labor;
preserve and strengthen them in their lifelong
service of you.
Open the hearts of Your children
that they may discern Your Holy Will;
inspire in them a love and desire to surrender
themselves
to serving others in the name of Your son, Jesus
Christ.
Teach all Your faithful to follow their respective
paths in life
guided by Your Divine Word and Truth.
Through the intercession of the Most Blessed
Virgin Mary,
all the Angels, and Saints, humbly hear our
prayers
and grant Your Church's needs, through Christ,
our Lord. Amen.
