Let us pray for new spiritual vocations

Message, 25. March 2020

“Dear children! I am with you all these  years to lead  you to the  way of salvation.  Return to my Son; return to  prayer and fasting. Little  children,  permit  for God to speak to your heart, because  Satan is reigning and  wants to destroy  your  lives  and the earth  on which  you  walk. Be courageous  and decide for holiness.  You will see conversion in your hearts and families; prayer  will be heard; God will hear your cries  and give you  peace. I am with you and  am blessing you  all  with my motherly  blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Prayer: Prayer for Vocations (Saint John Paul II)

Lord Jesus, Good Shepherd, You called the apostles to leave everything and follow You. Look with love upon today’s Church, which needs holy and zealous workers in Your harvest. Touch the hearts of young people so that they may feel Your call. Give them the courage to respond with trust, decisively leaving everything that separates them from You. Lord, send to Your Church holy priests, consecrated religious, and lay faithful who will serve the Gospel with love. Grant them perseverance in their vocation, strength in temptations, and joy in service, that they may be a sign of Your love to the world. Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, may Your will be done. Who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.
