VOCATIONS SUNDAY The word vocation comes from the Latin word vocare
which means, “to call.” Vocation is
usually understood as the way of life each of us feels called to follow. This Sunday is a day of special prayer for
vocations to the work of service in the church. Jesus said “The harvest is rich but the labourers are few so
ask the Lord of the harvest to send labourers into his harvest” (Matt.
9:37). When we pray for vocations we
are asking the Lord to send labourers into the harvest. On this Vocations Sunday we pray that
there will be labourers willing to answer the Lord’s call. Prayer for Vocations Father, whose voice verbed the world into being and praise may your call to service be heard in our days Jesus, who revealed in human heart and mind God’s glory name again people to tell a new age your story Spirit, ferment and yeast of God in the bread and wine Inspire in human hearts the desire to be thine.
