Serra Club of Tulsa asks everyone to remember World Day of Prayer for Vocations on May 3
April22,2020
The Serra Club of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma asks that you remember World Day of Prayer for Vocations will be observed on Sunday, May 3, 2020, also known as "Good Shepherd Sunday." The purpose of this day is to publicly fulfill the Lord's instruction to, "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his harvest" (Mt 9:38; Lk 10:2). Please pray that young men and women hear and respond generously to the Lord's call to the priesthood, diaconate, religious life, societies of apostolic life or secular institutes. The following is a beautiful prayer for vocations from the USCCB.
God our Father, we thank you for calling men and women to serve in your Son’s Kingdom as priests, deacons, religious, and consecrated persons. Send your Holy Spirit to help us respond graciously and courageously to your call. May our community of faith support vocations of sacrificial love in our youth. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
