September 25, 2017 “Dear children! I am calling you to be generous in renunciation, fasting and prayer for all those who are in temptation, and are your brothers and sisters. In a special way I am imploring you to pray for priests and for all the consecrated, that they may love Jesus still more fervently; that the Holy Spirit may fill their hearts with joy; that they may witness Heaven and Heavenly mysteries. Many souls are in sin, because there are not those who sacrifice themselves and pray for their conversion. I am with you and am praying that your hearts may be filled with joy. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Resolution:

Today, let us pray for priests, for consecrated persons, and for new vocations.

The Virgin Mary often calls us to offer sacrifices and prayers for priests. She says: “With them, my Heart will triumph.” Let us join her in prayer for their renewal and strengthening.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of priests and consecrated persons with the joy of their vocation. Strengthen them in times of trial and temptation, especially in these troubled times. We pray also for new vocations—for generous hearts willing to embrace sacrifice and fasting, especially for the conversion of sinners.

Mary, Mother of the Church, intercede for all those called to serve, and raise up new laborers for the harvest.

Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well-beloved spouse! (3x)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
