The theme this year is from Pope Francis’ Letter for World Day of Prayer for Vocations: “Every vocation is an exodus from self…it leads us on a journey of Adoration of the Lord…and service to him in our brothers and sisters.” A reminder to all of us that all vocations require sacrifice and service. Whether married, consecrated life, priesthood or apostolic celibacy– we are all called to serve God and our neighbour. Please pray that many young people may hear the Lord’s call to serve, particularly in priesthood and religious life.
