Sacraments
Pray for Priests
We need to pray for priests who, like St. John Vianney, dedicate themselves to serving God’s people. Priests live a life of service to show the mercy and love of God.
Pray for More Vocations to the Priesthood
Why should we pray for more vocations to the priesthood? It is no secret that we need more priests in the Catholic Church. Giving your whole life to the service of the Church is counter-cultural and many young people do not even consider it. God calls us all to a specific vocation. So we should pray that those being called to the priesthood will hear and answer that call.
