Lord Jesus Christ, High and eternal Priest: In view of so many Seminaries and Novitiates without vocations, and of so many places without priests and apostles, moved by the sorrow that tore from your heart that anguished lament: the harvest is plentiful and the workers are few, obedient to your command to pray for them, we beseech you:
(We answer: Send laborers into your harvest, O Lord).
– That there may be no lack of those who bring children to you.
– That the blind of soul may see, and the deaf may hear, and the dead may be raised, and the poor may be evangelized.
– That the oppressed of the devil may be delivered, that the righteous may be more justified and the saints more sanctified.
– That there may not cease to be in every town one who says to its inhabitants: Behold your Mother, showing her to yours.
– That all who suffer may come to you and, resting on your breast, find peace.
– That in every place the spotless oblation of the pure, holy and immaculate Host may be offered to your name.
– That daily your great desire may be fulfilled that your disciples may eat your Passover and the house of your banquet be always full.
– That not a single town may be left without a tabernacle or a priest to bring his townspeople to it.
– That your name may be hallowed, your Eucharistic kingdom come to us, and your will be done for all men on earth as for the angels in heaven.
– Lord, the harvest is plentiful and the laborers are few.
R. Send us holy priests and religious, according to your Heart.
St. Manuel Gonzalez
