Prayer for Vocations
+++
God our Father, we turn to you in this time of Great Need. We trust in your loving kindness and ask you to hear the prayers we offer for Your Church. Through your grace, we seek both men and women who may offer their lives to to you in the vocation of religious life.
Bless and guide those who are discerning Your call to holiness and service. Give them courage, steadfast love and a spirit of charity as they seek to respond faithfully to the call to the priesthood and religious life.
We offer this prayer for the Diocese of Orlando and for the whole Church in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ, who is Lord, forever and ever. --Amen

The Elijah Cup, the chalace used during the celebration of Mass, provides a focal point for meditative prayer during the week and is presented to an individual or family at the end of the Mass. You will discover that your vocation prayers, when placed in this cup, return to bless you and your family in a very real and personal way. If you are interested in having the Elijah Cup in your home, contact the Church office to be placed on the rotation calendar. Included with the cup is the DVD Fishers of Men and selected prayers.
