Prayer for Vocations

Heavenly Father, bless your Church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, brothers and sisters.

Give those you have called to the married state and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world, the special graces that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in him, with him and through him we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere. With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

This is a great new means of evangelization. Pope John Paul II said that we are in need of a new evangelization. Podcasting is a small part of this new work of evangelization. All of us need to do our part in spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 Prayer for Vocations

Heavenly Father, bless your Church with an abundance of holy and zealous priests, deacons, brothers and sisters.

Give those you have called to the married state and those you have chosen to live as single persons in the world, the special graces that their lives require.

Form us all in the likeness of your Son so that in him, with him and through him we may love you more deeply and serve you more faithfully, always and everywhere. With Mary we ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Guardian Angel

Dear Angel ever at my side,
how loving you must be.
Please whisper to your loving
child, what God wants me to be.
Amen

Seven young men have been started the formation process to become priests in the Diocese of Little Rock.

The Diocese of Little Rock has accepted seven new seminarians, including three who were born in other countries, vocation director Msgr. Scott Friend announced.

This is awesome news from Arkansas. It seems that news like this is starting to become the rule, rather than the exception. More and more you are hearing of Dioceses across the country accepting lager numbers of men into the formation process. Let’s hope the trend keeps up. But, it’s going to take more than just hope. It’s going to take prayers. It’s also going to take parents who are willing to foster the vocations their sons might have inside their hearts. Let’s keep it up!

According to the article, Atlanta will have over 60 seminarians when the fall classes start up. It’s just too awesome to know these numbers are going up like this. With prayer, any diocese can do this. So everyone keep your prayers coming for vocations!
