Shepherd God,
You show us the way to everlasting life.
Through Baptism, you have called us to proclaim the Good News.
Bless and strengthen those who have made a commitment to service in the Church.
Guide and give wisdom
to those discerning their vocation.
Enrich our Church with dedicated married and single people,
with deacons, priests and religious.
Filled with joy and your Holy Spirit,
may we follow Jesus,
our Good Shepherd, now and always.
Amen.
