(2 Corinthians 12:9) Collect Prayer O God, who in the abasement of your Son have raised up a fallen world, fill your faithful with holy joy, for on those you have rescued from slavery to sin you bestow eternal gladness. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. (Roman Missal) Peter s Pence Collection: July 7 July 8, 2018 This weekend, on behalf of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, through the Peter s Pence Collection, we unite with the Holy Father as he reaches out to our brothers and sisters suffering the effects of war and violence, natural disasters, and religious persecution. We stand in solidarity with Catholics all over the world to support the charitable works and outreach of the Holy See. In, we have a joyful witness of charity. By supporting this collection, we can experience more fully how mercy is the force that reawakens us to new life and instills in us the courage to look to the future with hope (MV, no. 10). Join and be a witness of charity throughout the world. Please prayerfully consider supporting the Peter s Pence Collection. Charity is infectious, it excites, it risks, and it engages! For true charity is always unmerited, unconditional and gratuitous!

3 BE a PRIEST Lord, to whom shall we go? You alone have the words of everlasting life. John 6:68 Is Jesus Christ calling you to become a Catholic Priest? For many are called, but few are chosen. Prayer for Priestly Vocations Father, in every generation you provide ministers of Christ and the Church. We come before you now, asking that you call forth more priests to serve our Church. Give us priests who will lead and guide your holy people gathered by Word and Sacrament. Bless us with priestly vocations so that we can continue to be a truly Eucharistic Church, strengthened in our discipleship of Jesus Christ, your only Son. Raise up, we pray, priests who are generous in their service, willing to offer their lives and all their gifts for your greater glory and the good of your people. We make our prayer in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
