Prayer for Seminarians

Lord Jesus, we ask your special blessing on those preparing for the priesthood in our seminaries. We pray that they will grow in faith, hope and love.

May their hearts overflow with your compassion, understanding and generosity, and may their desire to serve you inspire others to answer your call. Give them courage and perseverance and be their constant companion as they prepare to serve you and your people with faithfulness.

Lord, give our seminarians the grace to continue to answer the call to follow you on their journey. When they are lonely or discouraged, comfort them with your peace.

Jesus, meek and humble of heart, fill the hearts of our seminarians with the fire of your love. Make them holy as you are holy.

Amen
