Prayer for Vocations

Dear Lord, the fields are white with the harvest and the labourers are very few.

We beseech you to inspire young men and women with a desire to work for you,

courage to deny themselves for you,

and a love that will lead them to leave home for your name’s sake.

This Week’s Calendar

Monday 6 - Saint Bruno, priest. Born in Cologne, 1033, Bruno became professor of theology in Reims University and later its head. But his desire was to found a monastery where poverty, manual work, silence and worship would be the basics. .

Tuesday 7 - Our Lady of the Rosary. Today’s celebration urges all to meditate on the divine mysteries of Christ, following the example of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who was in a special manner associated with the incarnation, passion and glorious resurrection of the Son of God.’ (Divine 0 Office)

Wednesday 8 - Weekday (27th Week in Ordinary Time)
