VOCATIONS SUNDAY (29th April)

20/4/2012

0 Comments

 
VOCATIONS SUNDAY (29th April) is a day when, as a diocese, we pray particularly for vocations to the priesthood.  The life of the priest is immensely fulfilling.  It is a calling which brings great joy and blessing.  Please pray hard for vocations to the priesthood.  Your sons and grandsons are those whom God may be calling to this radical way of life ...  Every young Catholic single man needs to ask himself the question, at some stage in his life, 'Is God calling me to be a priest?'.Please consider how best you might help single men of all ages to consider the calling of Christ in their lives.  Do you pray for vocations to the priesthood?  Could you start a parish prayer group to support vocations to the priesthood?  Do you invite the young men of your parish or your family to seriously consider the priesthood?   Could you be a link person with the Vocations Director for your parish?  Could you organise a monthly Holy Hour for vocations in your parish?  Are there other things that you could do?  Please feel free to use this prayer again and again as we ask the Lord to send us many many priestly vocations for our diocese: Father of all, in the  name of Jesus Christwho came not to be served but to serve,grant us the grace of many new vocations to the priesthoodin our diocese.Give us men after your own heart who,following the example of the Good Shepherd himself,are willing to joyfully lay down their lives in your serviceand for your glory.We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.Our Father ...  Hail Mary ...  Glory be ...The Diocesan Vocation Director is Fr Terry Martin who may be contacted at:  vocations@dabnet.org"
