This Sunday we celebrate the 58th World Day of Prayer for Vocations, also known as Good Shepherd Sunday. The purpose of this day is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). Please pray that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, societies of apostolic life or secular institutes.
Read Pope Francis' Message for this World Day of Prayer for Vocations, which draws generously on the life of St. Joseph to guide and inspire new vocations. He writes: "God looks on the heart (cf. 1 Sam 16:7), and in Saint Joseph he recognized the heart of a father, able to give and generate life in the midst of daily routines. Vocations have this same goal: to beget and renew lives every day."
May we pray along with Pope Francis that St. Joseph will accompany those on the path to religious vocations: "A hymn in the liturgy speaks of the 'transparent joy' present in the home of Nazareth. ... I pray that you will experience this same joy, dear brothers and sisters who have generously made God the dream of your lives, serving him in your brothers and sisters through a fidelity that is a powerful testimony in an age of ephemeral choices and emotions that bring no lasting joy. May Saint Joseph, protector of vocations, accompany you with his fatherly heart!"
