WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS Today the Church throughout the world prays for vocations. Will you make a special effort to ask the Lord for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life? Pray for the priests who have ministered to you throughout your life, both living and dead. Keep our parish priests in our prayers throughout the week. Encourage your children, grandchildren, or other young people to consider a vocation as a priest or religious brother or sister. Pray a rosary for more young men and women in our diocese to respond to God s call. In their ministry, priests fulfill the words of Jesus, who said: I am the gate of the sheepfold. I am the good shepherd. The pastoral care of vocations is a fundamental part of their ministry. Pope Francis
