WHO? ME?

When people pray for vocations they are often hoping that someone else will answer the call. What about you? Have you considered that you may have a vocation to the diocesan priesthood?
-
Is prayer and worship an important and regular part of your life?
-
Would you like to express your love of God through a life of service to His people?
-
Have you found yourself thinking of becoming a priest?
If you can answer “YES” to these questions then why not explore further?
Speak to your Parish Priest or contact the Vocations Director for the Diocese of Motherwell.

prayer for vocations
Lord, make me a better person
more considerate towards others,
more honest with myself,
more faithful to you.
Help me find my true vocation in life
and grant that through it I
may find happiness myself and bring
happiness to others
Grant, Lord that those whom you
call to enter the priesthood or the religious life
may have the generosity to answer your call,
so that those who need your help
may always find it.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord.
Amen.
