Pray for Vocations
Lord Jesus,
moved by the urgent need of Priests, Religious and apostles, and following Thy recommendation to pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers to work for the salvation of souls, we implore Thee, through the intercession of Thy most Holy Mother Mary, Virgin Immaculate and Queen of the Most Holy Rosary, and also through the intercession of Dominic, the Holy Patriarch, to increase the number of friars preachers.
Obtain for Thy Order faithful followers of its religious traditions; numerous apostles after the heart of their Blessed Father Dominic, holy and zealous for the salvation of souls.
Amen.
Another Prayer for Dominican Vocations
Lord Jesus, as you once called Saint Dominic to preach the Gospel, so now send new preachers into your harvest. Give them courage, wisdom and grace to make them witnesses of your death, resurrection and return in glory. Through the intercession of Mary, patroness of the Order, may they bring true faith and light to brighten the darkness.
You who live forever.
Amen.
