Serra prayer for vocations
O God Who wills not the death of a sinner
but rather that he be converted and live
grant, we beseech you
through the intercession of the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin,
Saint Joseph, her spouse,
Blessed Junipero Serra
and all the saints
an increase of laborers for Your Church
fellow laborers with Christ to spend and
consume themselves for souls
through the same Jesus Christ
Your Son
Who lives and reigns with You
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
God forever
and ever. Amen.

Prayer for the canonization of Blessed Junipero Serra

Heavenly Father, we ask you to look lovingly on the missionary journey of your faithful servant, Blessed Junipero Serra.
His steadfast efforts in founding nine missions in California and the conversion of thousands of native Americans have inspired the formation and work of Serra International.
The ministry, in Father Serra's name, is to encourage and affirm vocations to the priesthood and vowed religious life.
We pray that you bless this holy and courageous Franciscan missionary and grant him the ultimate honor of Sainthood in your heavenly kingdom.
We ask this through Christ in unity with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
