Prayer for Seminarians

Lord Jesus, we ask your special blessing on
those preparing for the priesthood in our
seminaries. We pray that they will grow in
faith, hope and love.

May their hearts overflow with your
compassion, understanding and generosity,
and may their desire to serve you inspire
others to answer your call. Give them
courage and perseverance and be their
constant companion as they prepare to serve
you and your people with faithfulness.

Lord, give our seminarians the grace to
continue to answer the call to follow you
on their journey. When they are lonely or
discouraged, comfort them with your peace.

Jesus, meek and humble of heart, fill the
hearts of our seminarians with the fire of
your love. Make them holy as you are holy.
