Thanks to Easter of A Tribute to Our Priests for this reminder:

National Vocation Awareness Week
January 11-17, 2009

“Young people will respond generously to a call to heroic virtue, prayer and the pursuit of perfection. And among those that do will come our future priests . . . We need to lose our fear of calling young people to be saints.”

–- Msgr. Timothy M. Dolan, Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis
Vocation talk to Archdiocesan priests, St. Louis, 2001

God, the source of creation and love, You invite each of us to serve you through
the life which is your gift.

May your grace encourage men and women to heights of holiness through service to the church’s priests, sisters, brothers, and lay ministers.

Make me an instrument to encourage others to give of themselves and challenge me to do the same.

Amen.

Spread the love
