Beloved of God, commissioned to proclaim Good News with our lives.
The observance of National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) began in 1976. In 1997
this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Please
pray with us for an increase in vocations to the ordained ministry and the consecrated
life:
Lord Jesus, as You once called the first disciples to make them fishers of men,
let your sweet invitation continue to resound: Come, follow Me!
Give young men and women the grace of responding quickly to Your voice.
Support your bishops, priests and consecrated people in their apostolic labor.
Grant perseverance to our seminarians and to all those who are carrying out the ideal of
a life totally consecrated to Your service.
Awaken in our community a missionary eagerness.
Lord, SE&D WORKERS TO YOUR HARVEST and do not allow humanity to be lost for
the lack of pastors, missionaries and people dedicated to the cause of the Gospel.
Mary, Mother of the Church, the model of every vocation, help us to say “Yes” to the
Lord Who calls us to cooperate in the divine plan of salvation. We ask this through Christ
Our Lord. Amen. (Pope John Paul II)
