[size=1][color="red"]*Note: The purpose of this thread is to aide members in finding resources for holy orders and the priesthood. All links come from the Catholic Defense Directory, created by phatcatholic and hosted here at phatmass. For the sake of ease, I am making some links here direct links to external sites. However, for the sake of records and in appreciation for the time spent by phatcatholic and others on the creation of the Directory, I am also linking directly back to whole categories and sub-categories. Please feel free to browse the Directory on your own and remember to rate the sites when you are finished! Thank you and may the Lord give you His peace.[/color]

[size="2"][i]For newcomers to Vocation Station, this is a prayer written by many members of this section of the phorum and is prayed daily by many, for many. Please join us.[/i][/size]

Most Gracious and Loving God, You call all mankind to intimate union with Yourself. Send Your Holy Spirit into the hearts of your priests and religious, sanctify them, and make them instruments of Your Will.

Do not forget, we beg You, those who are currently discerning Your Will for their life, most specifically the men and women of phatmass. Help us to understand the plan for our lives which You, in Your Infinite Wisdom, have conceived. Give us the grace of perseverance against temptation which might distract us from Your call on our lives and the wisdom and humility to accept wherever You lead us. Help us to be holy, to do Your Will in all things; fill us with Your Love, strength, and peace. As we discern, may we journey ever closer to You.

We ask this in the name of Jesus, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever. Amen.

Our Lady of Good Counsel, pray for us.
