 MORNING PRAYER

This coming Sunday is the World Day of Prayers for Vocations. During the 4th Sunday of Easter, Christians are invited to reflect on the meaning of God's call and pray for vocations in the church. On this date, we pray for future religious sisters, deacons, priest, and bishops.

Almighty God,

Look with compassion on the world you have redeemed,

by the death of your Son Jesus Christ.

Move the hearts of many to offer themselves

for the sacred ministry of your Church,

so that by their lives and labours,

your light may shine in the darkness

and the coming of your kingdom be advanced.

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen
