There is such a need for vocations to the
priesthood and religious life in the
Church that the Holy Father has set aside
this Sunday as “World Day of Prayer
for Vocations.” We all have a mission
in life, because the word of God, which
came to birth in us at baptism, is waiting
to blossom forth in a more total way in
each of us. Christ the Good Shepherd is
calling each of us by name as we journey
through life by different ways. God does
not knock at every door looking for
somebody to respond to a vocation to the
priesthood or religious life. If he
happens to knock at your heart, be
generous enough to let him in. How
otherwise will the needs of the flock in
the next generation be met? On the
occasion of his Installation as Archbishop
of San Francisco, Archbishop Niederauer
printed a prayer card with the prayer for
vacations of Pope John
Paul11:
“Loving
Father, it is Your will that people be
saved and experience the consolation of
Your love and mercy. Hear our prayer for
an increase in religious and priestly
vocations. Call men and women from all
lands and from every walk of life to bring
Your message of hope and salvation to the
entire world. Give them the grace to bring
others to You through Jesus, Your Son, so
that people the world over may share the
justice and peace He came to bring into
this world. Amen.
If you
feel called by God to the priesthood or
religious life, please contact Fr. Thomas
A. Daly at Office of Vocations (415)
614-5683.
If any of your loved ones have been
hospitalized, we ask that you please call
the rectory to let the priests of the
parish know so that they are able to visit
them. The hospitals do not inform us when
one of our parishioners has been admitted,
so it is up to their family members to let
us know. Thanks for your help!
