Good Shepherd Sunday

I am the gate. Anyone who enters through me will be safe: he will go freely in and out and be sure of finding pasture. - John 10

On this Sunday the Church especially recommends to her children to pray and promote in the hearts of the faithful vocations to the priesthood and religious life.

My dear Jesus, by Your most loving Heart, I implore You to inflame with zeal for your love and glory, all the priests of the world, all missionaries and those whose office it is to preach Your word and to raise up new apostles of Your Church, particularly in the Order of Prémontré. Inflamed with this zeal, may they snatch souls from the devil and lead them into the shelter of Your heart where they may glorify You forever. Amen.
