ECCLESIASTICAL PROVINCE OF
ONTARIO

A Prayer for Vocations

God our hope, your risen Christ commissioned leaders 
to make disciples of all nations and baptize them to serve 
as a living testimony to his presence. 
Raise up in this Province vocations to holy orders, 
individuals who will love you with their whole hearts 
and gladly spend their lives making you known;
Quicken wisdom in those charged with ministries 
of discernment or mentorship; 
and equip theological schools and faith communities 
in which vocations are encouraged and incubated,
so your Church, devoting itself to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, 
the breaking of bread and the prayers, 
may live as a faithful sign and instrument of your Reign, 
drawing the world to the One who is Lamb, Gate, and Shepherd, 
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen.
