World Day of Prayer for Vocations

admin April 21st, 2010

This Sunday, April 25th, is World Day of Prayer for Vocations (Marriage, Priesthood, Diaconate, Consecrated Life and the Single Life)

Good Shepherd Sunday is a special day for everyone in our parish. We celebrate World Day of Prayer for Vocations. We ask that we may be filled with joy and the Holy Spirit as we carry on the mission of Jesus, our Good Shepherd. Let us pray for one another that we may be strengthened in our Christian vocations as married and single people, priests, deacons and religious. May our youth listen to God’s call and be encouraged to respond generously. As we celebrate this feast we pray for fidelity to our vocation. The Church invites us to honor the vocation of all Christians
given at baptism.

May we who have dedicated our lives to God through
the vocation of marriage, priesthood,
diaconate, consecrated life, and the single life
remain faithful to our commitments.
May those who are discerning their life vocation
listen to the grace of God to guide them. Amen.”
