World Day of Prayer for Vocations to the Priesthood & Religious Life
The World Day of Prayer for Vocations 2018 falls on Sunday April 22 - Good Shepherd Sunday. In the Gospel (Mt 9:38 and Lk 10:2), Jesus instructs his disciples to “Pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send labourers into his harvest”.
Whilst the church recognises that everyone receives a vocation from God, be it to married life, single life, or some form of ministry, the church focuses on this day, to pray for vocations to ordained ministry (Priesthood & Diaconate) and to Religious Life in all its forms.
• Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for more
vocations?
• Pray for more young men and women in our diocese to
respond to God’s call.
• Pray for the priests and religious who have ministered to you
throughout your life, both living and dead.
• Keep your priests and religious in your prayers throughout the
week.
• Encourage your children, grandchildren, or other young
people to consider a vocation?
