Parents’ Prayer for Vocations to Priesthood and Consecrated Life

Lord Jesus, we offer you our children, and consecrate them to you.

You, the all-powerful Creator, gave them to us; with a parent’s love, we give them back to you. Keep them free from all sin, confirm them in your grace and enable them, Lord, to serve you for the rest of their lives as priests or consecrated persons. Fill us with your love, so we can bear their leaving in silence. Though it is hard to let them go, call our children to love and serve you. Give them a thirst for souls out of love for you. From our arms, where they first learned to love you, may their guardian angels guide them as priests to your altars, as missionaries to the missions, as consecrated persons to your love, as apostles to souls in need and as saints to heaven. Amen.
