This week is National Vocation Awareness Week. It is an annual week-long celebration of the Catholic Church in the United States dedicated to promoting vocations to the priesthood,diaconate, and consecrated life through prayer and education, and to renew our prayers and support for those who are considering one of these particular vocations. During this time offer this prayer for those who may be considering a religious vocation. If you know of someone thinking about it, encourage them. If you know someone who you think would make a good priest or religious, put the thought in their heads. God our Father, We thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, and consecrated persons. Send your Holy Spirit to help others to respond generously and courageously to your call. May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth and young adults. We pray this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
