10 Pointers for Prayer
A Prayer for Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive You in my body,
my soul, and my whole being.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, 
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
And unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

Vocations to the Priesthood Resources

Prayer for Vocations

Gracious God, You have called us through Baptism to discipleship, believing in your Son, Jesus Christ, who has sent us to bring the Good News of salvation to the world. We pray to you, asking that you grant us more priests and religious who will help us build up your Church in the Diocese of Belleville and the world. Stir up the grace of a religious vocation in the hearts of many of our youth. Grant to them the willingness and generosity to give of themselves in service to our Lord Jesus and his people. May a new generation of priests, deacons, sisters and brothers be a sign of your presence among us. We ask this in the name of Jesus the Lord. Amen
