Prayer for vocations from the prayer book of the Irish Alexian Brothers

We turn to you Mary Mother of the Church, who through your faith opened the door which makes Christ present in the world, in history, and in individual lives. In humble silence and total availability you welcomed the Call of the Most High. May there be many who come to know in our day, the invitation of Your Son 'follow Me', particularly in our Congregation. May they find the courage to leave family, friends and earthly ambitions, and follow Christ along the road He walked. Amen.
