April 21, 2024 - World Day of Prayer for Vocations

Prayer for Vocational Discernment

Lord Jesus, you said to your disciples, "I am the way, the truth and the life." Give young people the gift of discernment, to find their way and embrace their true vocation, the life for which you have created them.

In all that lies before them, help them discern a life that is pleasing to you, whether to Christian marriage, to the priesthood, or the consecrated religious life.

Send your Holy Spirit to inspire them. Grant them the grace to embrace a life of joyful service. Fulfill their desires to make a generous gift of themselves to others, after your example. Give them the loving support of family and friends as they prayerfully discern their vocation in this life.

We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen
Joseph G. Hanefeldt
Bishop of Grand Island

21 de abril de 2024 - Dia Mundial de Oración por las Vocaciones

Oración por el Discernimiento Vocacional

Señor Jesús, tú les dijiste a tus discípulos: "Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida". Da a los jóvenes el don del discernimiento, para encontrar su camino y abrazar su verdadera vocación, la vida para la que los has creado.

En todo lo que tienen ante sí, ayúdales a discernir una vida que es agradable a ti, ya sea al matrimonio cristiano, alel sacerdocio, o la vida religiosa consagrada.

Envía tu Espíritu Santo para inspirarlos. Concédeles lagracia para abrazar una vida de servicio gozoso. Cumplir con su deseos de hacer un generoso don de sí  mismos a los demás, después de su ejemplo. Dales el apoyo amoroso de familiares y amigos mientras disciernen su vocación en esta vida.

Pedimos esto a través de Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amén
Joseph G. Hanefeldt
