LORD OF THE HARVEST,

 

BLESS young people with the gift of courage to respond
     to your call.
Open their hearts to great ideals, to great things.

 

INSPIRE all of your disciples to mutual love and giving—
for vocations blossom in the 
good soil of faithful people.
 

INSTILL those in religious life, parish 
ministries, and families with the confidence 
and grace to invite others to embrace 
the bold and noble path of a life 
consecrated to you.
 

UNITE us to Jesus through prayer and sacrament,
so that we may cooperate 
with you in building your reign of mercy 
and truth, of justice and peace. Amen.

 

— Pope Francis
