Shepherds of Hope Campaign Prayer Father, all-powerful and ever-living God you are the eternal shepherd who never leaves his flock untended. Through the ministry of your priests you continue the work of salvation. We pray for an increase of vocations to the priesthood and religious life. We pray for our seminarians; that they will respond generously to your call. We pray for our priests in active ministry; that they will be faithful and joyful shepherds of hope. And we pray for our senior priests who have dedicated their lives to the service of your people; May they enjoy peace and security all the days of their lives. Father, grant your blessing to the Shepherds of Hope Campaign. Through this important work of our Church help us to encourage our seminarians and support our senior priests. May your people respond with generous and loving hearts, always mindful of the gifts they themselves have received. All of this we ask through Christ our Lord. Amen.
