VOCATION REFLECTION:  We are like Martha.  There is plenty to be anxious about, but only one thing is required of us.  For five minutes today, be like Mary.  Rest with Jesus; ask him what he requires of you. (Lk 10:38-42)

PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Loving and Generous God, it is You who call us by name and ask us to follow You. Help us to grow in the Love and Service of our Church as we experience it today. Give us the energy and courage of Your Spirit to shape its future. Grant us faith-filled leaders who will embrace Christ’s Mission of love and justice. Bless the Church of the Resurrection by raising up dedicated and generous leaders from our families and friends who will serve Your people as Sisters, Priests, Brothers, Deacons and Lay Ministers.  Inspire us to know You better and open our hearts to hear Your call. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
