Oblate Vocations Prayer

With the “Year for Priests” inaugurated in 2009 by Pope Benedict and the forth coming celebration of the 150 years of our Founder’s death in 2011, the Vocations Group see 2010 as an opportunity to call young single men to consider life as a religious priest or Brother with the Oblates. We will be offering ways in which we can all invite men in our communities and ministries to consider following Jesus Christ as an Oblate Brother or priest.

Prayer

God of joyful hope and faithful love:
you call us to share fully in the mission of your Son.

In this time of great promise and change inspire us to be witnesses
to the power and presence of Jesus.

May we love and respect all you have created and be disciples
of the Good News especially among the dispossessed.

Guided by the Holy Spirit, may others be inspired to leave nothing
undared for the Gospel by becoming Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen

St Eugene de Mazenod. Pray for us.
