O Lord, help me know your will for me.
Let your light shine in the depths of my heart that I may know what you want me to do with my life.
Help me believe you have a special plan for me.
Lord, I know I pass through this life only once, help me decide to make a difference.
Like our Blessed Mother, give me the wisdom to hear your voice and the courage to answer your call.
Above all give me peace of mind and heart.
I offer this prayer in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Amen
Bishop Daniel M. Buechiein, O.S.B., D.D.

Surely each of us can spend some time praying for Vocations to the Priesthood and Religious Life, and for those who have responded to persevere.
