Almighty God, we turn to you at this hour with all our hearts. Hear our prayer as we ask for an increase of Vocations to the Priesthood, Diaconate, and Religious Life to serve your Church in Brooklyn and Queens. May we always have the ministers we need to stand at Your Altars, administer Your Sacraments, and lead Your People on the path to Heaven. We pray that we will always be attentive to Your Call and that if today we hear Your Voice, we may not harden our hearts; rather, that we have the courage to respond with generosity. We ask this through Christ, Our Lord. Amen.

-Most Rev. Robert J. Brennan, Bishop of Brooklyn
