Hope does not disappoint us because God’s love

has been poured into our hearts through the Holy

Spirit who has been given to us. ~ Romans 5:5

Vocation Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, son of the living God, give to the people of the diocese, hearts open to the
call of your Holy Spirit. Help us work together with Richard, our Bishop, to cultivate a culture
of vocation. Inspire our young people to give generously of themselves and the courage to
follow their vocation in life. In the spirit of faith, love and sacrifice, help our parents rejoice
when their children are called in service of your Church. May the parishes of southwest
Iowa support those called to priesthood, diaconate, lay ministry, and consecrated life.
The Most Reverend Reverend Ross Parker Sustain our faith which calls us to walk in the footsteps of Christ. Mary, Queen of
Richard E. Pates Director of Vocations
and Seminarians Heaven and Earth, Patroness of our Des Moines Diocese, pray for us.
Bishop of Des Moines
Amen.
