Jesus, Good Shepherd, you said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0093The harvest indeed is great but the laborers are few.\u0094<\/span><\/p>\n

We lovingly embrace Your invitation:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0093Pray the Heavenly Father to send forth laborers into His harvest.\u0094<\/span><\/p>\n

Inspire in us a holy crusade for vocations<\/span><\/p>\n

under the loving care of St. Annibale Maria Di Francia<\/span><\/p>\n

whom\u00a0Blessed Pope John Paul II described\u00a0as<\/span><\/p>\n

\u0093an anticipator and precursor of the modern pastoral care of vocations.\u0094<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant us\u00a0abundant holy priests!<\/span><\/p>\n

May these holy priests be the salt of the earth, the light of the world,<\/span><\/p>\n

the city placed on the\u00a0mountaintop for the salvation of mankind redeemed by Your Precious Blood.<\/span><\/p>\n

Look on us Lord Jesus\u00a0and our need for holy priests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Help those young men you are calling to hear clearly Your Solemn and Authoritative Voice<\/span><\/p>\n

and to generously respond with their “Fiat!”\u00a0to Your loving call.<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy Mary Mother of God and Mother of priests,\u00a0Mother and guardian of\u00a0vocations,<\/span><\/p>\n

pray with us, pray for us and pray for all those young men<\/span><\/p>\n

called from the beginning of time by Our Triune God<\/span><\/p>\n

to be holy priests today in our troubled world. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
