Pope's Prayer intention for May:
Formation of men and women religious and seminarians
Formation of men and women religious and seminarians
Pope Francis says:
“Every vocation,” he reminds us, “is like a ‘diamond in the rough’ that needs to be polished,” through a journey of ongoing growth. For “formation does not end at a certain moment, but continues throughout life.” ... – the importance of communitarian life, prayer, dedication to bearing witness to the Gospel, closeness to the lives of others. All these things are learned through an integral formation that begins “in the seminary and the novitiate, in direct contact with the lives of other people.” The Pope Video Project
We pray for vocations and for all those who are exploring their vocation to be a priest, religious sister or brother or a deacon.
For further information from the National Office for Vocations National Office for Vocations whose mission is 'helping people to hear God's call. And of course people should also feel encouraged to talk to our own priests Fr John and Fr Matthew.
