2014 Pope's message for World Day of Prayer for Vocations

May 11, 2014 is day of prayer for vocations


 

Pope Francis has released a statement for the May 11, 2014 World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Among his words are these:

“I invite you to listen to and follow Jesus, and to allow yourselves to be transformed interiorly by his words, which “are spirit and life” (John 6:62). Mary, the Mother of Jesus and ours, also says to us: “Do whatever he tells you” (John 2:5). It will help you to participate in a communal journey that is able to release the best energies in you and around you. A vocation is a fruit that ripens in a well-cultivated field of mutual love that becomes mutual service, in the context of an authentic ecclesial life. No vocation is born of itself or lives for itself. A vocation flows from the heart of God and blossoms in the good soil of faithful people, in the experience of fraternal love.”
