Heavenly Father,
You so loved the world
that You sent Your only Son, Jesus,
to bring eternal life
to those who believe in Him.
I join Him in His prayer
for laborers in Your harvest.
May Your Holy Spirit
inspire and strengthen
generous men and women
to continue His mission in the World.
May this same Spirit
make known to me Your will
in my regard.
Where You lead, I will follow.
Let it be done to me
according to Your word.

I make this prayer
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

O God, in the past you called men and women to dedicate their lives to you through priesthood and religious life. Today stir up the grace of a religious vocation in the hearts of many within our parish community. Grant them the willingness and generosity to place their lives completely in your hands as priests, brothers and sisters. Help me to support them by my own fidelity to your call to holiness through prayer & Christian service. If you desire that one of my family or friends follow you in this way, grant me the wisdom and insight to support and encourage that person to listen to your voice and follow you without delay.

An Invitation from Fr. James Waite

Have you ever considered priesthood, diaconate, or religious life?  Have you wondered about serving the church in a professional capacity as a lay minister?  I invite you to prayerfully consider if God is calling you into His service.

A call from God deserves a response on your part.  I believe that many men and women are being called... but they find it hard to respond, or hard to give a committed "yes."

If you are discerning where God is leading you, I invite you to talk to me about it.  Call me or send me an e-mail at frwaite@stjohnslockport.org.
