April 21 is the 61st World Day of Prayer for Vocations

On this day, Pope Francis urges Christians to welcome our shared vocation to sow the seeds of hope and peace in our world. 
The Holy Father noted that all Christians are called to welcome our God-given vocation to serve Him in the world, whether it be through the consecrated life, the priesthood, marriage, or even as a single person.
“Our life finds fulfilment when we discover who we are, what our gifts are, where we can make them bear fruit, and what path we can follow in order to become signs and instruments of love, generous acceptance, beauty, and peace, wherever we find ourselves.” - Pope Francis
Vocations Prayer:

Loving God,
​

your Son, Jesus, has shown us that an open heart finds the way.
Help me to find my way in this world.
Keep my heart open to following Jesus' way of serving others in love.

Give me the courage to accept the guidance you offer me
through my family, my friends, and my parish community.

Through the Holy Spirit, you call me to a particular way of life.

If it is the way of a priest, sister, brother or deacon, then help me to walk it in joyful service to your people.

With you, my God, I know I can find my way. Amen.

El 21 de abril se celebra la 61ª Jornada Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones

En este día, el Papa Francisco insta a los cristianos a acoger nuestra vocación compartida de sembrar semillas de esperanza y paz en nuestro mundo. El Santo Padre señaló que todos los cristianos estamos llamados a acoger la vocación que Dios nos ha dado para servirle en el mundo, ya sea a través de la vida consagrada, el sacerdocio, el matrimonio o incluso como persona soltera.
“Nuestra vida encuentra plenitud cuando descubrimos quiénes somos, cuáles son nuestros dones, dónde podemos hacerlos fructificar y qué camino podemos seguir para convertirnos en signos e instrumentos de amor, de acogida generosa, de belleza y de paz, dondequiera que esté. Nos encontramos." - Papa Francisco
Oración de las Vocaciones:

Dios amoroso,
​

Tu Hijo, Jesús, nos ha mostrado que un corazón abierto encuentra el camino.
Ayúdame a encontrar mi camino en este mundo. Mantén mi corazón abierto para seguir la manera de servir de Jesús.
otros enamorados.

Dame el coraje para aceptar la guía que me ofreces a través de mi familia, mis amigos y mi comunidad parroquial.

Por el Espíritu Santo, me llamas a un modo particular de vida.

Si es la manera de un sacerdote, hermana, hermano o diácono, entonces
ayúdame a recorrerlo en gozoso servicio a tu pueblo.

Contigo, Dios mío, sé que puedo encontrar mi camino. Amén.
