Lord God, the Provider of all our needs,
you have asked us to pray for workers in your vineyard.
Manifest in your church the Spirit
whom you so abundantly bestowed on the apostles at Pentecost.
Bless our parish and our diocese
with an increase of men and women to minister in your church.
Form our parish in your image
to be the sacred environment
for listening to the Spirit
that these young men and women may hear your call
and respond with generous hearts.
May they give themselves,
their time, and their talents
to serve your Son and the Church.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
