I just returned from a visit to the USCCB website looking at the listing for Prayers for Vocations. There are 2 Parent's prayers for vocations.One tilted more toward priesthood and one which names all four of the vocational calls, single, ordained, married, consecrated. There are 40 prayers for vocations with the majority of them slanted toward priesthood, and no mention of the other vocational calls. Today, it is still common among clergy to link vocational call as being synonymous with priesthood. Having served for several years in vocations ministry at a parish level it was an on going struggle over terms and titles. Then Bishop Sean O'Malley wrote the first prayer for the vocation of marriage as a vocation. And though Jesus was 'single' and obscure for 33 years there isn't a prayer for the vocation of single life. If Bishops are unable to even pray for the four vocations - how can they accompany a youth for unbiased discernment?
