Prayer about St. Patrick

God our Father,
you sent Saint Patrick
to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.
By the help of his prayers,
may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.
Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

An Irish Prayer

May God give you...
For every storm, a rainbow,
For every tear, a smile,
For every care, a promise,
And a blessing in each trial.
For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

Daily Prayers for Vocations 

Loving and Gracious God, You are the giver of all good gifts.  We ask You to look upon us in Your kindness and mercy and grant more laborers to Your Vineyard. 

We especially ask You to send more worthy Priests, Patrician Brothers and Brigidine Sisters into Your Holy Church.   You are attentive to those who ask, seek, and knock.   Enkindle in the hearts of men and women the spark of a vocation.      

Through the intercession of St. Patrick, St. Columba, St. Brigid and that of the Blessed and Virgin Mother of Your Son, we beseech You and ask You to hear us O Lord. 

Amen
