Words of Advice and Wisdom on the Topic of Discernment

“In the first place I say this:  you must never think that you are alone in deciding your future!  And second:  when deciding your future, you must not decide for yourself alone!”

 

– Pope John Paul II

 

 

“The discernment of a vocation is above all the fruit of an intimate dialogue between the Lord and his disciples.  Young people, if they know how to pray, can be trusted to know what to do with God’s call.”

– Pope Benedict XVI

 


  

 

Vocations Prayer

 

Prayer to Mary, Most Holy, Mother of Vocations

 

 

O Mary, we entrust to you the apostolate for the laity, the ministry of the priests, the witnessing of religious.

We pray that priestly and religious vocations may be widely felt and followed for the glory of God and the vitality of the church.

May the new springtime of vocations, their new growth in the whole church, become a significant proof of your motherly presence in the mystery of Christ in our times, and in the mystery of the church throughout the world.

Amen

 

by Pope John Paul II
