Please join the Hospitaller
Brothers of St. John of God in praying for vocations to Religious
Life, more specifically to our Order.
O Jesus,
divine shepherd of souls, who called the Apostles to become fishers
of men, now call the ardent and generous hearts of our youth to
make them your followers and ministers. Let them share your thirst
for that universal redemption for which you daily renew your sacrifice
upon the altar. O Lord Jesus, "always living to make intercession
for us," extend our horizons to the entire world, where so
many brethren make silent supplication for the light of truth
and the warmth of love, so that answering your call, many young
men may prolong here your mission, edify your mystical body, the
Church, and become "the salt of the earth and the light of
the world."
Extend, O
Lord, your loving call to many pure and generous hearted young
women, that they may grow in their desire for evangelical perfection
and may dedicate themselves to the service of the Church and their
neighbors who so desperately need such assistance and charity,
Amen.
Pope
Paul VI, April 11, 1964
