Saint Joseph's Young Priests' Society |
|
|
|
 Pope Benedict has designated 2008 a year of special prayer for vocations. The St. Joseph's Young Priests' Society is dedicated to the promotion of vocations in Ireland and around the world.
Jesus said to His disciples, “The harvest is great, but the labourers are few. So pray to the Lord to send more workers into his fields.” (Matthew 9:37) Jesus looks at all who follow Him as a field ripe for harvest. Many people would like and are ready to give their lives entirely to Christ if someone would show them the way. Jesus commands each of us to pray and to support the great need of workers in the harvest. God answers our prayers by using each of us to help another person to respond to God’s invitation to follow Him. A Prayer for Vocations O Jesus, send labourers into your fields, whichare awaiting holy apostles, saintly priests, heroicmissionaries and dedicated sisters and brothers.Enkindle in the hearts of men and womenthe spark of a vocation.And grant that Christian families may desire togive Your Church, helpers in the work of tomorrow.Amen. |
