A Prayer for a Seminarian
God our Father,
Thank you for calling [name] to prepare for priesthood. Grant him the grace to grow closer to You through daily prayer.
Help him form his personality as a credible witness to others. Bless him while he studies Your word and the teachings of the Church, and give him a generous heart to serve Your people.
We ask this through Your Son, Jesus Christ, our great High Priest.
Amen

Prayer for Vocations 
Father, you call each of us by name and ask us to follow you.
Bless your Church by raising up dedicated leaders from our families and friends in the Diocese of Bismarck who will generously serve your people as sisters, brothers, deacons and priests.
Inspire us as we grow to know you and open our hearts to hear your call.
We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord.
Amen.

Diocese of Bismarck Vocation Prayer
 " O Lord Jesus Christ, great high priest, I pray for the men of our diocese that you have called to your holy priesthood.  Enlighten our bishop in forming our candidates, our director of vocations in guiding them and their professors in teaching and training them.  Lead our seminarians in your unerring footsteps so that they may become priests who are models of purity, possessors of wisdom and heroes of sacrifice.  May they be steeped in humility and aflame with love for God and others. Mary, Mother of Seminarians, pray for us.
Amen
