Prayer to our Lady of Good CounselGod of heavenly wisdom, you have given us Mary, Mother of Jesus, to be our guide and counselor.
Grant that we may always seek her motherly help in this life and so enjoy her blessed presence in the life to come.
O Mother of Good Counsel, Patroness of the National Council of Catholic Women, Intercede for us, that we may be wise, courageous and loving leaders of the Church.
Help us dear mother, to know the mind of Jesus, your Son.
May the Holy Spirit, fill us with reverence for God’s creation, and compassion for all God’s children.
May our labors of love on earth enhance the reign on God; and may God’s gifts of faith and living hope prepare us for the fullness of the world to come.
Amen.

Prayer for Vocations
"Father you call each one of us by
name and ask us to follow you.
Bless your church by raising
up dedicated and generous
leaders from our families
and friends who will serve
your people as Sisters, Priests,
Brothers, Deacons, and Lay Ministers.
Inspire us as we grow to
know you, and open our hearts
to hear your call.
We ask this in Jesus name. Amen."
