Loving and Generous God,
it is You who call us by name and ask us to follow You.
Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church
as we experience it today.
Give us the energy and courage of Your Spirit
to shape its future
Grant us faith-filled leaders who will embrace Christ's Mission
of love and justice.
Bless us by raising up dedicated and generous leaders
from our families and friends who will serve Your people as Sisters,
Priests, Brothers, Deacons and Lay Ministers.
Inspire us to know You better
and open our hearts to hear Your call.
We ask this through our Lord.
