Hi, I am Sr. T,
2
00:00:02,569 --> 00:00:05,271
a Sister of St Paul of Chartres,
3
00:00:05,271 --> 00:00:08,241
and I serve as a Women’s Discernment Leader
4
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:10,143
with the Vocation Brisbane Team.
5
00:00:11,211 --> 00:00:14,314
This month, Pope Francis invites us
6
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:16,182
to pray for vocations
7
00:00:16,182 --> 00:00:18,218
to the priesthood and religious life.
8
00:00:19,252 --> 00:00:22,756
Vocation is about responding to God’s call,
9
00:00:22,756 --> 00:00:25,158
a call to bear witness to Christ
10
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:27,494
and to serve His mission in the world.
11
00:00:28,128 --> 00:00:31,498
It is a call, I believe, that requires
12
00:00:31,498 --> 00:00:34,601
the support of the entire Church community
13
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:36,770
to welcome, nurture,
14
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:38,705
and encourage our young people.
15
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:41,174
Now more than ever,
16
00:00:41,174 --> 00:00:44,110
we are in need of authentic vocations
17
00:00:44,110 --> 00:00:46,479
whose lives reflect the way,
18
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,782
the standard of Christ to the world.
19
00:00:49,582 --> 00:00:51,217
So, let us pray
20
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:53,119
that the church community
21
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:55,688
might welcome the desires and doubts
22
00:00:55,688 --> 00:00:57,424
of those young people
23
00:00:57,424 --> 00:01:00,160
who feel a call to serve Christ’s mission
24
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,929
in the priesthood and religious life,
25
00:01:02,929 --> 00:01:06,366
helping them to discern and live out their vocation
26
00:01:06,366 --> 00:01:07,967
with faith and courage.
27
00:01:08,635 --> 00:01:11,604
We pray always, in the Spirit of God
28
00:01:11,604 --> 00:01:13,473
and through Christ, our Lord.
29
00:01:13,473 --> 00:01:14,307
Amen.
30
00:01:14,741 --> 00:01:15,909
Thank you for joining us.
31
00:01:16,209 --> 00:01:17,010
