The Church asks us, on this Good Shepherd Sunday to remember the vocation which arises from Baptism and Confirmation. All of us are called and indeed challenged to be Christ in the world. Good Shepherd Sunday is also a day when the Church asks us to pray especially for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. So, on this Good Shepherd Sunday, in a special way, we turn to God in prayer. And our prayer is that God will continue to provide pastors for his Church, shepherds after his own heart. Priests who will faithfully proclaim the Word of God; priests who will minister the Sacraments and equip the People of God for ministry. And we pray, too, that God may give us warm and generous hearts with which to always support and encourage our priests.
