Almighty God, please hear our prayers for vocations to the Alexian Brothers. Please help young people who recognize God's call in their lives and long for the monastic life. Give them the courage and determination to follow Christ as you have done. We ask you to give the Alexian Brothers your wisdom and guidance to help and support those who commit themselves to enter the Order. Bless the formation process so that candidates may be strengthened in their faith and commitment. Please gift the Alexian Brothers with perseverance in the monastic life. Help them to always be committed to serving God and people and to be an example to the world through their humility and service. Amen.
