Prayer to Our Lady for Vocations

Most holy Virgin, who without hesitation 
offered yourself to the Almighty 
for the carrying out of his plan of salvation, 
pour trust into the hearts of young people 
so that there may always be zealous pastors 
who are able to guide the Christian people on the way of life, 
and consecrated souls who may know how to witness, 
in chastity, poverty, and obedience, 
to the freeing presence of your risen Son. 
Amen.

Pope John Paul II, Message for Vocations Sunday 2001
