Creator and Lord,
You have created us to praise, reverence
and serve You for Your greater honor and glory.
May the call of Christ be heard today by young people
with generous hearts and a passion for service.
Through the intercession of Your Blessed Mother Mary,
St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis Xavier and all Your saints,
inspire young men to consider serving You and Your Church
as Jesuit priests and brothers.
Grant them courage to overcome fear and doubt,
and strength to meet the pressing needs of the Church and world today.
Fill them with holy desires to serve the mission of Christ,
to find new ways to spread the Gospel message,
to defend and proclaim the faith of the Church,
and to promote the justice of Your Kingdom,
as companions of Your Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
