By the grace of God and under the mantle of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the house of formation at St. Michael’s Abbey has welcomed eight young men as postulants on the Feast of our holy father St. Augustine.

We commend them to your prayers, that through fidelity in prayer, perseverance in study, and generosity in labor, they may be ever more attentive to the voice of Christ speaking through His Church. May the Lord strengthen them in this time of formation, so that—should it be His will—they may one day be counted among the ranks of His priests, offering their lives in sacrifice for the glory of God and the salvation of souls.

Prayer for Vocations

‍

O God, Who wishes all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, send forth, we beseech Thee, laborers into the harvest: inspire many young people with the generous desire of devoting their lives to Thy service; grant that there may be a great increase in the number and sanctity of vocations to the priesthood and to the religious life, so that Thy Holy Name may be glorified and many souls may be brought to know and serve Thee, the One true God, and Him Whom Thou hast sent, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord. Amen.

‍

O Lord, grant us priests!

O Lord, grant us holy priests!

O Lord, grant us many holy priests!

O Lord, grant us many holy religious vocations!
