Rosary for vocations

We pray with Mary that workers will not lack in the Lord's harvest.

meditated rosary

Every vocation is born of a call from God and a heart that responds generously. Mary was the first to say "yes" without reservations, and her example illuminates every path: the priesthood, consecrated life and Christian marriage. In praying this Rosary we ask that many know how to hear the voice of the Lord and open their lives with availability.

Suggested mysteries: Joyful

Spiritual fruit: Generosity, listening and availability

When I pray: For the vocations of the Church and for those who discern

How to pray it

Pray the Holy Rosary as usual - sign of the Cross, Creed, and every mystery with his Father, ten Avemarias and Gloria. Before you start, do the initial prayer; in every ten, you welcome the proposed intention; at the end, the final prayer. If you want to pray it guided step by step, enter into Begin the Rosary.

Opening prayer

Holy Mary, who answered, "Be done in me according to your word," I come to you to pray for vocations. You, who listened to the angel and put yourself entirely in the hands of God, reach out to so many young people and to so many families the grace of hearing the Lord's call. Let those who serve in the priesthood, be given into consecrated life, or build Christian homes. Teach us to respond, like you, with a generous and fearless yes. Amen.
