Vocation Prayer

Loving Savior, at the foot of the Cross we look on You whom we have pierced through by ours sins. May our hearts be transformed in Your mercy so that we may more generously respond to You and Your command to love as You have loved us. May Your Passion especially strengthen all those being called to the priesthood, diaconate and consecrated life. Amen
