Vocations Sunday: Good Shepherd Sunday
‘Feed my sheep,’ says Christ to Peter (in last Sunday’s Gospel), and each day he says this to you and me as well. We too, must be the voice and presence of the Good Shepherd – as disciples, and as priests and deacons and Religious – and also as mothers and parents, as we celebrate today. May the Lord give us the grace to truly listen and respond to his voice, to his call. Click here for our special page for Vocations with Message from Pope Francis, Prayers & Reflections.

Prayer for Vocations
Loving God,
Call from among us priests and deacons,
shepherds after your own heart,
to gather and guide us in your name,
to serve our faith community, to proclaim your gospel,
in word and deed, to minister through the sacraments
and to lead us ever closer
