Lord Jesus Christ, You promised that if we agree to pray for anything in Your Name, You will do it for us. Through the powerful intercession of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we ask You for the grace of good vocations. Give us men and women of faith who are zealous to become Your strong friends and to faithfully serve as friars , nuns, and Seculars in the Discalced Carmelite Order.

As you have in the past, awaken hearts to fervently desire You and to carry on the charism of Carmel – to glorify the Triune God in the company of Your Mother and to be love at the Heart of Your Church. Amen.

— Prayer written by Very Rev. Michael Berry, OCD for the Discalced Carmelite Friars Vocations Office, Washington Province | ocdfriarsvocation.org
