May 1st, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, has been named Religious Brothers’ Day. Help us to celebrate the vocations of these committed men to the service of the church. Pray the prayer below for all Brothers and especially for the Brothers serving in the Diocese of Biloxi.

Prayer for the Vocation of Brotherhood:

Loving God, we thank you for the diverse gifts you give to each of us. We pray for the men who are considering the call to brotherhood, to live a life consecrated to your service. May they have the courage and discernment to listen to your voice and respond with generosity to your invitation. Grant them the grace to recognize the joy and fulfillment that comes from following your will. May they find the strength to embrace the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, and to serve your people with love and dedication. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
