Office of Vocations - World Day of Prayer for Vocations
In 1963 Pope Paul VI designated Good ShepherdSunday as World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, protects us as his flock
and promises us the gift of eternal life. As followers
of Jesus we are called to remain faithful to the grace of God.
As we celebrate this feast we pray for fidelity to our vocation. The Church invites us to honor the vocation of all Christians given at baptism. May we who have dedicated our lives to God through the vocation of marriage, priesthood, diaconate, consecrated life, and the single life remain faithful to our commitments. May those who are discerning their life vocation listen to the grace of God to guide
them.
NCCV has produced this resource for the celebration of World Day of Prayer for Vocations. There are many other vocation resources that are available to enhance vocation awareness in your parish, religious community, or other church groups.
Please let us know how we can help you in your ministry.
