Serran Prayer for Vocations
O God,Who wills not the death of a sinner,
but rather that he be converted and live,
grant we beseech You,
through the intercession
of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
Saint Joseph, her spouse,
Blessed Junípero Serra and all the saints,
an increase of laborers for your Church,
fellow laborers with Christ
to spend and consume themselves for souls,
through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God forever and ever.
Amen.
Prayer for the Canonization of Blessed Junípero Serra
Heavenly Father,we ask you to look lovingly on the missionary journey
of your faithful servant, Blessed Junípero Serra.
His steadfast efforts
in founding nine missions
in California
and the conversion of thousands of Native Americans
have inspired the formation and work
of Serra International.
This ministry in Father Serra's name
is to
encourage and affirm vocations
to priesthood and vowed religious
life.
We pray that you bless
this holy and courageous
Franciscan missionary
and grant him the ultimate honor of Sainthood
in your heavenly kingdom.
We ask this in the name of thy Blessed Trinity
and of Mary, Queen of Vocations.
Amen.
Serran Prayer for Perseverance of Vocations
O God,
You have constituted Your only-begotten
Son
supreme and eternal Priest
for the glory of Your Majesty
and the salvation of mankind:
grant that those whom He has chosen
ministers and dispensers of His mysteries
may be found faithful
in fulfilling the ministry
they have received.
Amen.
